Emmanuel rushed to bring their two children to the roof, but Coney was left behind.
“Ang sabi ko na lang sa kaniya, dapat makaabot siya ng kisame para maabot niya… iyong yero namin para mapukpok niya, para may [makaalam] na may tao sa ilalim,” he said.
A neighbor’s video, which has since gone viral, captured Emmanuel’s frantic efforts to save his wife from their rooftop as she cried for help from beneath the roof.
“Nag-dive ako mga tatlong beses para makita ko si misis. Tapos noong nakita ko na siya, pinull out na namin pataas,” he recounted.
Despite a neighbor’s attempt to perform CPR, Coney showed no pulse.
“Hindi ako pumayag na wala na. Kasi may milagro naman eh,” Emmanuel said tearfully, refusing to give up hope even as he brought his wife to several hospitals that could no longer admit her.
Coney was later found at a funeral home, leaving Emmanuel and their two children temporarily staying with relatives as they grieve their loss.
