Among those affected was the family of Analyn Almacen, who were unable to fix their home until now.
"Habang lumalalim po ang gabi talaga pong hindi na po kaya ang dating hanggang sa natanggalan na po ng bubong ang daming bahay. Sumilong na lang po kami sa ilalim ng lamesa namin. Basang-basa po kami," she said.
"Pagka kami po ay lumalakas 'yung ulan ang kadalasan po kami na lang pong mag-iina ang natutulog at 'yun pong aming tatay ay nakaupo na lang. Hindi po kami magkasya doon sa hindi tinutuluan."
