TYPHOON HAIYAN, or Typhoon Yolanda, was the strongest recorded storm in history. One year ago, it swept over the central Philippines from the Pacific bringing with it torrential, hurricane level winds and sea surges that flooded cities and towns displacing 16 million and killing at least 6,300.
The Nov. 8 anniversary was marked with prayers, pledges and protests.
No longer in the world's front pages, the typhoon stricken region is still recovering. Scenes of the devastation are still evident, displaced people are still living in tents and critics say government action is slow in coming. Protests were launched at what they perceive as a lack of urgency from the President Aquino administration.
