TALISAY, Philippines (AP) — Residents of a northern Philippine town are picking up the pieces following one of the deadliest storms to hit the country this year. At least 152 people are dead and missing after Tropical Storm Trami ravaged northern and central provinces. Experts say a mix of increasingly destructive weather blamed on climate change, and economic desperation that has forced people to live and work in previously off-limits disaster zones, has made many communities across Southeast Asia disasters waiting to happen. One man wept as his daughter’s body was dug from the debris.
