Pain lingers as Pinoys remember 'Yolanda'

(UPDATE) PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the nation on Wednesday in commemorating the 10th anniversary of the devastation wrought by Super Typhoon 'Yolanda' (international name: Haiyan) and urged Filipinos to 'remember the unaccounted victims' of the disaster.

'The devastation we suffered included over 6,000 lives lost, over 28,000 injured, over a thousand missing, and over 3 million families affected. And to this day, we still do not know the true scope of our loss because we grieve and we mourn our dead,' Marcos said in his speech during the event at the Tacloban City Convention Center.
