This is what remains of a once cozy resort hotel in Tolosa town in Leyte after super typhoon Yolanda ripped through the province’s coastal communities on Nov. 8. The resort is owned by the Romualdezes, one of the prominent political clans in Leyte.

Communication is also difficult that MindaNews has to go back to Surigao City to email this and other photos that were taken on Nov.
