A high school teacher told of watching the last moments of her daughter’s life and hearing her unforgettable last words: “Ma, just let go. Save yourself.”

The teacher, Bernadette Tenegra, told a Filipino newspaper that she was huddled with her family in their shanty, figuring that it might hold out through the storm, as it had before.

But water swamped the home with incredible speed, and the family was swept away. Tenegra, 44, said that her husband and one of her daughters scrambled to safety. But the younger daughter was caught in the current.

“I crawled over to her, and I tried to pull her up,” Tenegra told the Philippine Daily Inquirer through tears. “But she was too weak. It seemed she had already given up.”

Then came those last words, the mother said. “And then I just let go.”
