RARE PICTURE OF TYPHOON "ONDOY" 'KETSANA" A CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Five years ago on September 26, Tropical Storm Ondoy (international name: Ketsana) ravaged Luzon, submerging areas like Metro Manila in floods at record-breaking levels. Ondoy, then combined with the enhanced southwest monsoon, caused damages to infrastructure and agriculture at a cost of P11 billion ($246 million*). It's been 5 years since Ondoy hit the country, yet it will always be remembered because of its impact. It is even often compared to other typhoons that have followed, yet most have failed to match Ondoy's record.
