Summary:

U.S. Navy arrived in the Philippines with food and water. Philippines is having a hard time with having food and water. Typhoon went over the Philippines and houses were destroyed and people does not know where to rebuild their home. Every one in Philippines need food and water. They need help.

My Opinion: 

I have went to Philippines before and I thought this type of disaster would not happen in here. However, when I heard the news, I was really shocked. Maybe some of my friends there might have lost their homes. I am really sure that they need supplies from other countries. I saw the news and saw the video of Philippines right now. It is really terrible and it will take a lot of time to recover all the effect of the typhoon. I thank to U.S. and I  appreciate it.
