                    [Summary] => 



Four "super" typhoons in four months hit the country this year, the most recent being Reming (International codename: Durian). The Philippines’ location in the northwestern Pacific puts it right in the pathway of typhoon generators. It is usually the first to be hit by typhoons before they go to China, Taiwan and Japan, according to senior weather specialist of the Philippine weather bureau, Thelma Cinco. Bicol region has distinctly earned a reputation as the first to be hit by the most destructive calamities.

MAIPON, Albay — Cristina Buen sits patiently as a neighbor hammers together a coffin made of scrap wood for her younger sister Crissa Mae. The smell of death hangs heavy in the air.


Crissa’s small body, wrapped in a dirty blanket, lies on the ground in what is left of this village, obliterated by a river of mud and ash unleashed by typhoon rains.

Nearby, a bigger coffin under a makeshift tent contains the remains of her mother, Erlinda, who was killed as she tried to reach her children.
