<p><strong>Hundreds of Fishermen Missing at Sea in the Wake of Typhoon Bopha</strong> (Dec 9) -</p>
<p>The number of people missing after a typhoon devastated the Philippines jumped to nearly 900 after families and fishing companies reported losing contact with more than 300 fishermen at sea.</p>
<p>Bopha was dissipating finally in the South China Sea after briefly veering back toward the country’s northwest on Saturday, prompting worries of more devastation.</p>
<p>Nearly 400,000 people, mostly from Compostela Valley and nearby Davao Oriental province, have lost their homes and are crowded inside evacuation centers or staying with relatives.</p>
<p>The typhoon destroyed about 18 percent of the banana plantations in Mindanao, causing losses estimated at 12 billion pesos ($300 million), according to Stephen Antig, executive director of the Pilipino Banana Growers and Exporters Association.</p>
<p>The Philippines is the world’s third-largest banana producer and exporter, supplying international brands such as Dole, Chiquita and Del Monte.</p>

<p>DAVAO CITY—For the first time, people in the coastal towns of Davao Oriental saw for themselves what a typhoon was like.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Mindanao’s location near the equator makes it less likely to be hit by typhoons, according to experts. That was when <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">global warming</span> had not ushered in stronger typhoons in the country over the past few years and somehow <span style="text-decoration: underline;">pushed down the paths of certain storms</span> down to the Visayas and Mindanao.</p>
<p><br/>“This is the first time we experienced anything like this,” said Flordeliz Bantolinao, a teacher at Baculin National High School in Baganga, Davao Oriental, where Typhoon “Pablo” made its landfall.<br/><br/><br/></p>
