who now rebuilds a small shanty on the very spot where his family’s home once stood. </p><p>Using scraps of wood he gathered from the debris — many pieces belonging to houses that once stood proudly

Piles of debris and thick mud cover the area. With no machinery or help, residents clean up by hand, unsure how long it will take to clear the ruins. </p><p>In Sitio Bahala, under Barangay Biasong, not a single house remains standing.
