Powerful storms, tidal surges, high winds toppling trees and electric posts and massive floods over a wide area are natural disasters typical of the Philippines. We have endured 25 such storms in the past year more than ever before. Millions of people have lost their houses, land and crops. Thousands of light fishing boats were destroyed or damaged and over 6,000 people were killed. Many are still depending on relief food and are surviving in tents.
