00:00This year is the 11th anniversary of the super typhoon Yolanda that struck thousands of lives.
00:07Many of them were not recognized and did not know where they were buried.
00:12But despite that, they did not forget to remember, pray, and give their loved ones their blessings in life.
00:19That is the center of the news of Kate Renya.
00:23In Holy Cross Cemetery in Tacloban City, you can see these statues that have no name.
00:29They are part of the mass grave where the victims of the super typhoon Yolanda were buried 11 years ago.
00:37But even though the relatives did not know where the dead loved ones were buried,
00:43they did not forget to visit the mass grave every year.
00:47I will never forget the memories.
00:51With the help of the local government of Tacloban,
00:5420 survivors of the typhoon Yolanda are holding a candle and flower fair in Plaza Rizal of Ciudad Cada Taon.
01:03They are the ones planting the flowers and making the candles.
01:07According to the group, aside from this part of their livelihood,
01:11this is also their simple way to pay tribute to the victims of the typhoon.
01:16During the typhoon Yolanda, all of our flowers were destroyed.
01:21For the group, the flowers are a source of happiness
01:24and the candles give light to the souls as they travel to the next life.
01:30On November 8 is the 11th anniversary of the super typhoon Yolanda
01:35where less than 6,000 lives were lost.
01:39An incident that will not be forgotten
01:42in the memory of the survivors and the loved ones.
01:46On behalf of the Philippine Information Agency Eastern Visayas,
01:50I am Kate Rania for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
