Just when we Filipinos thought that nature’s wrath was over, Typhoon Pepeng came back to devastate Northern Luzon, leaving an even worse mark than Ondoy did just weeks ago. Region 1 and Region 2 of the Philippines were the worst hit, including provinces such as Pangasinan, La Union, Pampanga, Tarlac, the Benguet Province, Cagayan Valley, Nueva Ecjia, Nueva Viscaya, and Ilocos.
