Can we talk about poo for a minute?

Let’s talk toilets in an emergency!

Powerful wind, intense rain, massive floods, heavy landslides, deaths...
Houses in the coastal towns of Boston, Cateel and Baganga in Davao Oriental province, the Philippines, were wiped out by Typhoon Bopha (local name: Pablo) that made landfall in the first week of December 2012.

Electric posts were uprooted – along with banana and coconut trees – and mobile phones were reduced to useless gadgets.

In just a span of a few hours, the 3 municipalities were reduced to debris and corpses were lying everywhere.

If I hadn’t personally seen the place, I would have thought it was a scene lifted from one of those end-of-the-world movies. But this is reality, and this happened in Mindanao – an island in southern Philippines that is rarely visited by typhoons.

Læs mere her!
