Manila Shantytown Fire: 800 Homes Destroyed, 10,000 Homeless

London's Daily Mail reports upon a May 11 fire in a shantytown (informal, illegal settlement) destroyed 800 dwellings and left 10,000 people homeless. The Mail article included 17 photographs of the fire, the ruins  people looking for belongings in ash suffused waters and man who has rescued a cat in debris filled waters. The fire occured in the Tondo district, which is two miles from downtown Manila on Manila Bay and two miles from the Doroteo Jose station on the Manila urban rail system as well as the principal commuter rail station.

More than 4,000,000 – more than one-third – of Manila's (National Capital Region) residents live in slums, shantytowns and informal settlements. Government projections indicate that the slum population will rise to 9,000,000 by 2050. More than one-half of Manila's population will be in slums.

Many people believe that it

Many people believe that it is the nature that fights backs with these kinds of disasters due to the pollution and deforestation put by humans. I think there are some truths about it. Some are even claiming that the fire was started by the government agencies to avoid the locals from the illegal areas. Who knows the truth..!!!

My friend has also started getting the same results as I have. I wear it for a half a day at a time when walking barefoot or in shoes. I know what you’re thinking, " you didn't use original toner from Brother". flight I no longer looked like my passport photo. Anything Perry Stone teaches is always good. http://www.overseeninathens.com/
Nice and quiet and well designed. This is a great energy saving little fan. The quality of the bench is so-so but I expected that from the price point. WRONG! It only printed less than 100 pages and low toner sign appeared. It gives my core muscles significant exercise even when I feel like I'm working on something else, and I'm sure the extra balance training is beneficial. I introduced them to a friend of mine and her family fell in love with them also. http://www.overseeninathens.com/2904/saw-palmetto-nutrition-information/
