The Lanao del Norte region in southern Philippines has been devastated by landslides and flash floods [Richel V. Umel/Reuters]
Lanao Del Norte, Philippines -�The village of Dalama in the town of Tubod now looks like a dry riverbed, except for the few houses that managed to cling to their foundations - pieces of wood and concrete lodged in the sand among logs and boulders. Here and there, people sift through the debris hoping to find something of value.
But they are not the owners - the owners are either elsewhere or dead.
Before Tropical Storm Tembin hit the southern Mindanao region of the Philippines on the morning of December 22, officials of the Tubod municipal government warned Dalama's residents to evacuate. The fear was that the village, located near a river on the slope of a mountain, could be wiped out by a flash flood or landslide.
That is exactly what occurred.
"It all happened so fast," the surviving villagers tell anyone who would listen.
