APRÈS HAIYAN, LES INONDATIONS D'AGATON !

Certaines provinces, fortement affectées par le super typhon Haiyan au début du mois de novembre, sont maintenant sujettes à des inondations du fait de fortes pluies apportées par deux dépressions tropicales.

Aujourd'hui 22 janvier, l'on s'attend à de fortes précipitations sur les provinces de : Agusan del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Surigao del Norte et Surigao del Sur, ceci sur Mindanao.

Seront également affectées les centrales Visayas, avec des pluies faibles à modérées sur le Negros Oriental, Cebu et Bohol.

La région 8 des Eastern Visayas sera  touchée par des pluies faibles à modérées et des orages. Principalement sur Southern Leyte, Leyte, Eastern Samar et Samar.

BUTUAN CITY, Philippines (Reuters) - Emergency workers evacuated thousands of people across the southern Philippines on Tuesday, including many already made homeless by a typhoon in November, after three days of rain flooded towns and farmland.

Hundreds of survivors of Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall, were forced to flee by tropical depression "Agaton" after emergency shelters were damaged or destroyed on the eastern central island of Samar.

Tents collapsed under the weight of the rain and emergency plastic sheets have been torn away, humanitarian agency Oxfam said.


An average of 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year with Haiyan slamming into central islands on November 8, killing more than 6,100 and wiping out entire coastal communities in Leyte and Samar.

More than 200,000 people have been taken to shelters over the last three days as flood waters rose, but hundreds were still marooned on the roofs of their houses on Tuesday, said Eduardo del Rosario, executive director of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.

Del Rosario said 42 people had been killed, 65 had been injured and damage to property and farms had reached 367 million pesos.

"Our troops are trying to reach them and bring them to safer ground," del Rosario said.
Nenita Matuda, 45, and her children perched on their neighbours' roof as she watched the rampaging waters outside Butuan City in the north of Mindanao island.

"Thank God we are safe but we just lost our house," she told Reuters as she wiped tears from her eyes.


A state of calamity has been declared in Agusan del Norte and 15 other towns in the Davao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Sur areas of Mindanao even as weather bureau lifted alert levels as the storm weakened.

RESIDENCE DE L'AMBASSADEUR DE FRANCE ... AUX PHILIPPINES !

Image
Rare qu’un Ambassadeur de France ouvre les portes de sa résidence en dehors du 14 juillet.  Suffisamment rare tout du moins pour que j’en fasse un post. Petite aparté, tout ceci est payé, directement ou indirectement, par vos impôts. Profitez en bien, compte tenu de l’état des finances du pays, il se pourrait bien que d’ici quelques années le patrimoine du ministère des affaires étrangères soit mis en vente afin de combler une dette devenue abyssale. A quand le passage des résidences de nos ambassadeurs sous le contrôle des Qatari ou des Chinois ? Les paries sont ouverts. En ce qui concerne les Philippines, passer d’une superbe villa située à  Forbes Park, pour un trois pièces sur Quiapo, Tondo ou Binondo, ils risquent d’apprécier le changement nos diplomates ! Home to French ambassadors, the Embassade de France in Makati is a modern residence with elements of history and culture. The architecture bears some elements of the plantation style such as the p

LE ''BALISONG'' ... VOUS CONNAISSEZ ?

Des couteaux papillons, fabriqués dans la province de Batangas, au sud de Manille. BUTTERFLY KNIVES The blade that defines the Batangueno if there is a landmark worth erecting in Batangas province in northern Philippines, it would be the sculpture of the balisong (fan knife) that  has defined the unique art, craft, and culture of Batanguenos for centuries. Though Barangay Balisong in Taal town, also known as the balisong capital of the Philippines, is now suffering from the dwindling supply of knife experts, Diosdado Ona, owner of the Ona Blades store, sees a chance of reviving the dying industry. "I think if the government would support the balisong industry, and promote it by putting up the fan knife landmarks in all the entrances to the province such as Laguna, Cavite, and Quezon, people will know and appreciate the industry," Ona said. In front of Ona's store along the highway of Barangay Balisong is a six-foot balisong. He said the fan knife industry is
