A Call for Help
PLEASE HELP THE VICTIMS OF SUPERTYPHOON REMING…
Allow me first to take you out of your comfort zones and together let’s journey through what is left of Bicol, particularly Albay, Legazpi City, Camarines Sur, and Naga City after Supertyphoon Reming ravaged our place. Here are some photos –
This girl lost many of her relatives due to the mudflow
Adrian Bagasala attends to his wife, Ivy,
whose leg was amputated after their home collapsed in a mudslide in Legaspi.
She was seven months pregnant, but the stress caused her to give birth
prematurely, and the baby died.
Josephine Anonuevo mourns after identifying
her brother’s body at a makeshift morgue in Guinobatan. Her brother was killed
when a typhoon-triggered mudslide hit his village in Albay province.
An aerial photo shows damaged homes and
buildings in the town of Guinobatan, southeast
of Manila. Philippine rescuers worked Saturday shoveling debris and mud in an attempt
to recover bodies after mudslides swept through mountainside villages.
Rescuers recover bodies of victims of a
mudslide from the slopes of the Mayon volcano in Albay province, the
hardest-hit area. The winds, which reached 165 mph, and the torrential rains
triggered the mudslides.
Children in Camarines Sur province recover
an image of Jesus from piles of wreckage
So many bodies arrived at this
funeral parlour that they were left on the road outside in Daraga town.
