Residents of Brgy. Tariwara in Pandan, Catanduanes grapple with the devastating impact of Super Typhoon ‘Pepito’ after passing through the small village over the weekend. Manila, Philippines—Filipinos cleared fallen trees and repaired damaged houses on Monday after the sixth major storm to batter the Philippines in a month smashed flimsy buildings, knocked out power and claimed at least eight lives.
Seven people died and three were injured when a landslide buried their house in Nueva Vizcaya province in Luzon, Kristine Falcon of the provincial disaster agency told Agence France Presse . “Most houses with light materials were flattened while some houses made of concrete had their roofs, doors and windows destroyed.”
“We’ve also received reports of roofs that went flying with the wind last night… it was the fierce wind that got us scared, not exactly the heavy rains.”‘Pepito’ weakened significantly as it traversed the mountains of Luzon and was downgraded to a severe tropical storm as it swept over the South China Sea towards Vietnam on Monday.
At least 171 people in the Philippines died in the past month’s storms, which left thousands homeless and wiped out crops and livestock.
