TYPHOON TINO AFTERMATH IN PHILIPPINES<br />WITH VID<br />BY SALONI MATHUR<br />The horrific devastation caused by Typhoon Tino in the Philippines was captured by a solo traveller. <br />Marek Pukas, a solo traveller and content creator, was visiting El Nido, Philippines, got caught in the typhoon and had to wait it out like everyone else. <br />Typhoon Kalmaegi, called Typhoon Tino locally, barrelled into the central Philippines. <br />Thousands of people were evacuated, while hundreds of them were trapped as flash floods buried cars and quickly rose around homes or wiped them out. <br />Talking about the situation, Marek said: “What breaks my heart is not just the damage that the Typhoon has done here, it’s how normal all of this is for the people here. <br />“Storms, floods, typhoons, over and over again, and still Filipinos smile.<br />“They help each other, they rebuild, they find the light in the darkest moments of their life. <br />“I literally have seen people lose everything, and they still offered food to a stranger. That kind of strength humbles you.”<br />ENDs
