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.

Widespread flooding that killed at least 23 people, battered a million others and paralyzed the Philippine capital briefly eased Wednesday, allowing rescuers on rubber boats to reach a large number of distressed residents still marooned in submerged villages.
