A mass burial has been organised in the Philippines for scores of people killed by flash floods on the southern island of Mindanao. Health officials in the city of Iligan say unclaimed bodies are being buried after being marked for possible future identification. Coastal communities were devastated early on Saturday in flash floods triggered by a tropical storm. More than 650 people were killed and another 800 people are still missing. Damaged roads are hampering efforts to reach survivors in remote villages. Officials in Iligan said they were preparing to bury unclaimed bodies in a mass grave as early as Monday because of their advanced state of decomposition. The ports of Iligan and nearby Cagayan de Oro bore the brunt of the flooding. Health officer Liddy Villarin said the body bags would be marked for possible exhumation. “We will put markings on the cadaver bags which will give the physical features of each body before they put them in the mass grave,” she said.

There is no greater gift than love. Love in the form of affection, not in the form of material.

"Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors."
