Supertyphoon ‘Reming’ (international name Durian) hit the Bicol region early morning Thursday, with winds capable of upstaging the damage caused by ‘Milenyo’ last September. The tropical storm was earlier forecasted to hit Metro Manila and northern Luzon on Friday but it changed directions instead.

“It is imperative that we find his relatives so we could bring Mr. (Bernabe) Vicarmehome.”
Mr. Vicarme was one of the passengers of a United Nations Aircraft that was shot down seven years ago in Angola. The UN wants to bring his body home so the UN is requesting the public’s assistance in locating his next […]
