Hope amid the ruins

HOPE AMID THE RUINS. In Barangay Bislig in Tanauan, Leyte, messages of survival, a Santa doll and a flag stand out amid the ruins left by Yolanda. A tent from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (background) adds some hope to the landscape. This spot is a few meters from where Basilide Durana and her son Alfredo hope to set up a tent, should they receive one. (Sun.Star Cebu Photo/Rianne C. Tecson)
