He packed a bag, carried his first born, and wife in tow, HIKED all the way to Bataan where the government buses were waiting to ferry the refugees to the relative safety of Balintawak. By the time he reached Bataan, he had to toss the bag, lose the shoes (ashfall made the roads slippery) and only had his son and wife left.
