An aerial view from a Philippine Air Force helicopter of TOG 12 under Colonel Dionisio Robles as it conducts a search and rescue operation Saturday, July 5, 2008 in Cotabato City on the southern island of Mindanao where 17 villages are underwater. More than a thousand people have been displaced by flash floods and are now staying in public schools used as temporary shelters. The floods also destroyed farmlands and fish cages. At least 5 people died from flash floods and landslides triggered by torrential rains the past days. Rivers, clogged with water lilies, also overflowed. (Mindanao Examiner Photo / Mark Navales)
