AFTER THE devastation wrought by typhoon Rolly (international name: Goni) — the strongest typhoon to hit land this year — on Catanduanes and Bicol, it was followed up by typhoon Ulysses which swamped parts of Metro Manila, Rizal, and has turned the provinces of Cagayan and Isabella into landlocked seas.
