    Strong rainfalls over the past week have created havoc in the country of Philippines.
    These rainfalls became the reason for many land slides and heavy floods which took 11 lives until now and have 8 more missing.

    Series of rains over different parts of Philippines has left more than 200 000 people homeless and in grief.
    Many members have been evacuated to safer places and are provided with temporary shelter until the rains cease.

    But this time the combination of the cold front and the pacific winds resulted in the heavy devastating rains.
