A strong typhoon that barreled through the central Philippines left at least 28-dead and 12-missings and forced thousands to flee their homes, devastating Christmas celebrations in the predominantly Roman Catholic country. Typhoon Phanfone stranded many people in sea and airports at the peak of holiday travel, set-off landslides, flooded low-lying villages, destroyed houses, downed trees, and electrical-poles and knocked out power in entire provinces.
