Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental.
One month after ordeal, typhoon Sendong evacuees patiently wait for proper shelter and regular food rations. Sendong surprised the people in the early morning of Dec 17 with mud water that rose above 10feet high leaving hundreds of thousands affected and close to 30,000 people and displaced, staying in various evacuation centers across the region. Some 200 victims were allowed to take up temporary shelter at the Provincial Capitol grounds with makeshift tents made of tarpaulin and wooden sticks. The death toll is at 1,257 while many more are still missing. Nevertheless, the survivors were thankful they pulled through this calamity and vowed to live on as they approach their daily affairs with heads held up high and full of hope.
