Ravaged coconut trees are seen as workers stand on the new corrugated iron roofing on the reconstructed house of Roberto Retanal in Palo, Leyte province, central Philippines December 20, 2013. There are some 10 million Filipinos living and working abroad, sending regular remittances to help their families get by. When super typhoon Haiyan struck on November 8, the telegraphic transfers went into overdrive. Retanal, 59, is jobless with a wife in a low-income government job and has two grown up children both earning pittances in far-off Manila. His sister, who is working as an accountant in Britain, sent him money for the reconstruction of his house after the storm surge inundated his one-storey concrete house.
