Philippine flooding disaster
The torrential rains have once again put much of the capital city of Manila underwater, but the strong spirit of its residents is clear as they try to cope. Here are a few images from the past week from the storm battered country.

Relentless rains submerged half of the sprawling Philippine capital, triggered a landslide that killed eight people and sent emergency crews scrambling Tuesday to rescue and evacuate tens of thousands of residents.
