Devastated lives & villages

By Julius D. Mariveles

A WEEK after super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) devastated Tacloban City and 44 other provinces of the Philippines on Nov. 8, 2013, PCIJ Multimedia Director Julius D. Mariveles and a team of journalists visited the affected villages. He returned home with a bundle of photos that spoke of the wrath of Yolanda more than words could describe.
