One of typhoon Yolanda's biggest statements in my opinion.
Tanauan Leyte
Tanauan Mass Grave /
A woman grieves for a loved one at a mass grave in Tanauan, Leyte.
I don't know who particularly she was crying for. I don't know how many. I wasn't even able to ask her name. All I know is that her unguarded grief was the first one that I've seen to be let out seemingly natural ever since I got here. Then you realize that most people here never really had the time to grieve - because they immediately had to worry about their survival until now.

The Communication Dilemma /
A resident using his mobile phone at the lone spot he could get reception in the town on Tanauan, Leyte. Communication is still a major problem in the region. Cellular signal has been restored but majority of survivors have lost their phones, do not have access to power to charge their mobile devices or simply do not have load.
