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.

A typhoon dumped torrents of rain as it swept past the Philippines, killing at least seven people and displacing more than 20,000 others by Tuesday. Another storm lashed the capital and neighboring provinces, leaving several parts of Manila without power and under water. AP Photo / Pat Roque
