Filipino farmer Ferdinand Pascua faces financial ruin after heavy rain brought by Typhoon Pepito sent torrents of water down a river near his shanty, bursting through an earthen dike and inundating land he has tilled for a decade.Pepito was a super typhoon when it slammed into the Philippines over the weekend -- the sixth major storm to hit the archipelago nation in the past month.
The problem is the rain that fell in Aurora flowed down here," Yolando Santos, the elected village chief, told AFP, referring to the neighboring mountainous province to the east where Pepito made its second landfall on Sunday.Deeper into debt While no one was killed or injured when the dike burst, villagers told AFP they worried that the farms will be permanently silted with sand and unfit for cultivation.
