Philippines Christians Thanking For Prayers After Deadly Typhoon
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
BONGABON, PHILLIPPINES (Worthy News) – Christians in the Philippines said Tuesday they are thankful for prayers as the cleanup began after deadly Super Typhoon Man-yi.
“Thank you very much for your sincere prayers; we survived the fierce and whipping typhoon,” said Clarita Orfrecio, a mother of three who had asked for prayers through worthy news amid death and destruction.
In her northern province of Nueva Ecija on the island of Luzon, rain linked to Man-yi triggered a landslide, killing seven people and injuring three others, disaster management officials said.
“However, I am thankful to the Lord God for keeping us away from the typhoon. It went somewhere else, so my town, Bongabon, is safe from the super typhoon,” Orfrecio told Worthy News.
Elsewhere in the eastern province of Camarines Norte, an elderly man was killed after his motorbike was caught in a power line during the storm, according to authorities.
Footage showed submerged homes in a village in Ilagan, Isabela province, caused by continuous heavy rains from Super Typhoon Man-yi.
Storm-weary Filipinos started clearing fallen trees and repairing damaged houses as Man-yi weakened into a severe tropical storm before making its way out about noon local time on Monday.
HIGH SPEED A
With sustained wind speeds of up to 185 kilometers per hour (115 miles per hour) at its peak on Saturday, Man-yi slammed into the island province of Catanduanes before making a second landfall in the northern province of Aurora on Sunday afternoon.
Witnesses said that along its path, Man-yi uprooted trees, brought down power lines, crushed wooden houses, and triggered tidal surges, landslides, and flooding.
Footage showed that flooding submerged part of the city of Ilagan in the northern province of Isabela.
The National Weather Service PAGASA had warned of a “potentially catastrophic” consequence from Man-yi.
Yet the early evacuation of some 750,000 people and the less-than-expected volume of rain reportedly softened its effect.
On Monday, President Ferdinand Marcos said Man-yi’s aftermath “wasn’t as bad as we feared”.
To Orfrecio and other devout Christians, it meant an answer to prayers, as this was the sixth major storm to hit the nation in less than a month.
