Seeing the recent photos of the devastation in the Caraga region, particularly in Siargao Island reminded me of these 2013 photos of the municipality of Del Carmen.

Back then I was on assignment with @tmcbn and @maralala.la for a feature story on eco-towns, and Del Carmen was one of the models for the ecological concept.

We chanced upon the town fiesta and so we not only filled our minds and notebooks with story ideas and notes, but also our tummies with plenty of food as well.

I wonder though how the town looks like now after #OdettePH. I hope the town would receive more aid in the coming days. And I hope the people would be able to rebuild their homes and lives soon.

Del Carmen, Surigao Del Norte.
July 2013.
