Operation Walang Iwanan: Typhoon Yolanda (Videos)
[Date Created: December 2, 2013]
Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) made landfall in the Philippines last Nov 8 and did no holding back in causing widespread grief and devastation. With strong winds and a storm surge that collapsed infrastructure, cut power and communication, exhausted supplies and took away thousands of lives, the government has declared the country under a state of national calamity. The public and private sectors, the Filipinos and the international community, are coming together to turn this calamity into one of the country’s biggest staging of Bayanihan, heroism and hope.
