Ian Antaran. Nurse. Yolana Volunteer.

Ian is a nurse for Miami-based Carnival Cruises and was in Manila for his two month vacation leave when Yolanda struck. Yet he chose to spend his time in Leyte than in the sandy shores of Boracay or Palawan. Patients were at ease with him and his huddle always seemed like a scene from a sit-com. Kids gravitated towards him and his work-area always seemed festive.

While tending the leg wound of a female patient, he asked how it happened. The girl answered, "Bildo (mirror or glass in the vernacular)."

Ian exclaimed, "Ano? Dildo?!?"

Everyone (including the patient) was in stitches.
