‘Yolanda’ brought out the best in people

STORIES of how Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) brought out compassion and the best in humanity from civic-spirited people here and abroad who volunteered time, resources and expertise to help the victims flood the social media and online versions of newspapers.

One such story, posted by Narciso Inlong on Facebook, narrated how (on his flight back to Manila from Los Angeles) an 81-year arthritis sufferer, Dr. Angela Ramos, retired pediatric expert and teacher at University of Southern California, flew back to the land of her birth to render her service to the victims.
