A Tale of Three Disasters in Philippines ........ The wrath of Sendong, Pablo and Yolanda

[Rosie1958]

Each year the Philippines is battered by storms which people endure with remarkable resilience. After 24 storms and an earthquake in 2013 alone, Typhoon Haiyan was one storm too many. It killed over 6000 people, made 5 million homeless, and affected 14 million in total.

What you may not realise is that Typhoon Haiyan had been proceeded by other big storms which tested the resilience of the Philippines people. This is the story of the three big storms which have affected the country over the past few years causing unimaginable hardship for the Philippines people.
