Days after typhoon Karding made landfall in the Philippines, residents of Brgy. Paltic in Dingalan, Aurora have started clearing debris and salvaging usable items from their damaged homes in a bid to start their lives again after the tragedy.

The sea-side barangay is one of the most affected by the country’s strongest typhoon so far this year.

According to Dingalan’s local government, 545 families in the locality lost their homes to Karding while more than 6,000 had damaged homes.

Fortunately, there were no reported deaths in the municipality, according to Municipal Mayor Shierwin H. Taay.

Karding (International name: Noru) inundated several barangays and displaced some 11,500 families in Luzon when it hit the country from Sunday.
