Flood victims need heroes
FATHER Charlito Colendres or as the community calls him Fr. Char tried to rescue his parishioners while stuck in the middle of the flash flood that struck Infanta, Quezon. Fr. Char was himself swept away by the raging river. Fr. Char drowned while trying to save others, he made the ultimate sacrifice to help his people. Father Char is a hero.
