Day 154 - 9:02 PM - Tañon Strait, Matutinao Coastal Area, Municipality of Badian, Province of Cebu
A beam of light pierced through the heavens under the darkness of the night. To those that witnessed this astonishing scene, it looked like a beacon of hope, lighting everyone's path in these dark times. Being shot at an angle, it did not soar straight up the sky. Instead, it flew miles away towards the northeast of the country.
The beam of light illuminated the skies over Central Visayas and Southeast Luzon. The light was even visible in the eastern coastal areas of Central, South, and the southeastern areas of North Luzon.
Their already chaotic night in the Philippines became even worse as people witnessed this phenomenon.
The beam of light might have only lasted a few seconds. However, it was more than enough to shake the hearts of the already dismayed people.
To Mark, on the other hand, it was a beacon of death rather than hope.
