Almost all of the structures in Davao Oriental's Cateel town, big or small, were not spared by typhoon "Pablo".

Davao Oriental is where the typhoon hit land on Tuesday last week, decimating the towns of Cateel, Baganga and Boston.

More residents are beginning to get starved as broken roads and bridges continue to hamper relief operations.

The future is also bleak for residents, with their means of livelihood destroyed.
