Howie Severino writes: 'As Russian forces close in on Kyiv, a Filipina travel vlogger is among those holed up in the Ukrainan capital and has volunteered to help defend the city.'
Known online by her vlogger name, “Krysten Kaladkarin,” Boado began travelling soon after graduation in 2017, and has been to nearly a dozen countries over five years. But when Ukraine allowed her entry over a year ago at the height of the pandemic, when many countries had closed their borders to Filipinos, she fell in love with Ukraine and got a job teaching children in an alternative school where part of the curriculum was field trips exploring caves.
“Naniniwala na ako na may chance na magkaroon ng victory ang Ukraine kasi napaka-resilient ng forces namin. We're outmanned and outgunned, pero we're on the winning side actually. And ang pinakamagandang nakikita ko sa Ukraine is 'yung power ng people,” she says in the interview, while wearing a traditional Ukrainian blouse called a vyshyvanka.
She added that the tech-savvy Ukrainans had devised apps that warn of Russian attacks in real time so civilians can seek shelter.
