(Updated 8:33 p.m.) Through messages scrawled on torn-up paper plates, written in pencil or crayon, and given to GMA's Jiggy Manicad, people in Leyte cut off from the rest of the Philippines by super typhoon Yolanda hope to let their loved ones in the country and abroad know that they are safe and sound.
Not all of the messages bring good news: some relayed the sad news of family members and friends killed by the storm.
The cellphone numbers of the recipients have been redacted.
