ZAMBOANGA, Philippines — Typhoon Vinta (international name: Tembin) unleashed flash
floods that swept away people and houses and set off landslides, reportedly leaving more than
120 people dead and 160 others missing, officials said.
Most of the deaths from "Vinta" were in the hard-hit provinces of Lanao del Norte and Lanao del
Sur and on the Zamboanga Peninsula, according to an initial government report Saturday.
LIVE Updates: Typhoon 'Vinta'
It was the latest disaster to hit the Philippines, which is battered by about 20 typhoons and storms
each year, making the archipelago that lies on the Pacific typhoon belt one of the world's most
disaster-prone countries.
A search and rescue operation was underway for more than 30 people swept away by flash
floods in the fishing village of Anungan, Mayor Bong Edding of Zamboanga del Norte
province's Sibuco town said by phone. Five bodies have been recovered so far in the village.
"The floodwaters from the mountain came down so fast and swept away people and houses,"
Edding said. "It's really sad because Christmas is just a few days away, but these things happen
beyond our control."
Edding blamed years of logging in the mountains near Anungan for the tragedy that unfolded
Friday, adding that he and other officials would move to halt the logging operations.

DITO MAN, DOON DIN
(To the tune of Caisson Song)
Dito man, doon din
Vanguards ay matinik pa rin
Kung lumaban ay parang lawin.
Tahimik man, walang kibo
Ngunit kung mapasubo
Tanging Vanguards ang di susubo.
Kung sa bakbakan, o sa kainan
Laging handa ang aming tiyan (Hatchet!)
Kung kaya kami, kinaiinitan
Ng maraming mga kalaban.

BAHAY BARRACKS
Bahay Barracks
Kahit munti
Ang mga COs doon
Ay sari-sari.
May Manileño,
May probinsiyano
Sila'y pare-pareho,
Na ubod ng guwapo.
Chorus (Recital):
Pero,
Bahay,
Barracks!
Pagdating mo doon,
Ang sasalubong sa'yo
Malaking paddle (ASSUME!)
Panghataw sa ulo
Pag-alis mo doon,
Uutusan ka pa,
Pabili ng yosi (Marlboro ha!)
Beer at pulutan pa!
Pag natutulog ka na
Gigisingin ka pa
"Brod, inom muna!
At tayo'y magsaya!"
Chorus
EXCHANGE OF HEARTS
David Slater
(David Slater)
One-sided love broke the see-saw down
I got to get rough when I hit the ground
And you went your way and I went wild
And girl, you'd understand if your heart was mine
If we had an exchange of hearts
Then you'd know why I fell apart
You'd feel the pain when the mem'ries start
If we had an exchange of hearts
I'd never wished a lonely heart on you
It's not your fault, I chose to play the fool
One day may come when you'll be in my shoes
Then your heart will break and you'll feel just like I do
If we had an exchange of hearts
Then you'd know why I fell apart
You'd feel the pain when the mem'ries start
If we had an exchange of hearts
When time turns the tables and soon I'll be able
To find a new romance
And then you'll remember my love warm and tender
Too late for a second chance
(Instrumental)
If we had an exchange of hearts
Then you'd know why I fell apart
You'd feel the pain when the mem'ries start
If we had an exchange of hearts
