"San Mateo Inmates Survive Typhoon Ondoy"

I was greatly disturbed by a news I heard from a friend that the inmates at the San Mateo Jail in Rizal were drowned by the flood caused by Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) last September 26, 2009. After searching the internet for some clues, I stumbled upon this article by Amita O. Legaspi. The inmates are all alive thanks to these jail personnels who responded to the inmates' timely rescue. To the following jail personnels, you certainly made it to my modern heroes list.
