November 8, 2013—Super Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan hit Ormoc City, Leyte. Roaring rains and lashing winds attacked our houses toppling it down, blowing some into pieces into the ground. The strong gust of winds seemed like a roaring truck in a full revolution. The aftermath of the typhoon left millions of damages to properties and livelihood.
