Chainsaw operator Loloy Escuyos, of Barangay Maasin in Pilar town, suddenly finds his work lucrative these days as he is now in high demand with the thousands of fallen coconut and other trees that need clearing after super typhoon “Odette” wreaked havoc in Siargao Island. He charges 800 pesos to cut each fallen coconut tree into pieces of lumber of whatever sizes the owner wants, and earns anywhere from 3,500 to 4,000 pesos a day. He is photographed amid a coconut plantation in Pilar on Tuesday (1 February 2022). MindaNews photo by ROEL N. CATOTO
