00:35The Lapu-Lapu Day Festival was amazing and everybody's having such a great time.
00:39And so I heard the news and came here.

00:51What are you feeling right now, bud?
00:55I'm pretty choked up.
01:04I don't even know what to say.
01:07This was a great, wonderful event, huge community event.
01:13And to have an end in tragedy like this, it won't break us or the community, but it's horrible.
