good evening everyone. i'm anderson cooper coming to you live from manila in the philippines with the latest on the disaster here and the relief efforts on going in tacloban and cebu. we have correspondents around the region to broadcast. the death toll has been revised upward. the official philippinen death poll is 2,300 people, more than that. but there is some confusion on the ground because according to the un on their website, they have the death toll at nearly 4,500. again, as we've been saying,

there are no accurate numbers we can give you with confidence. there are so many bodies not collected. the effort to collect bodies have increased, firefighters doing the grim and grizzly but necessary work of collecting the bodies. there is a lot to tell you about. increasing humanitarian assistance has been arriving in tacloban and elsewhere but piling up at airports. the problem now seems to be distributing it, getting it in trucks to get the aid out, to get it out safely, to get it out efficiently and to get it out to those who need it most. the needs are great. there are millions of people who are in need of assistance, food, and water and shelter. sometimes all three of those at once and it's not always just people in far away communities. this is sometimes people within, you know, half a mile or a few blocks from the airport in tacloban.

they have not been getting assistance. people are living next to the bodies of their dead children, still nearly now a week since the storm. we have a lot of reporting tonight but first i want to go to tacloban, to nick paton walsh what is responding by. from what you're seeing on the ground and talking and hearing from officials, what is the latest on relief efforts there? >> well, we have seen, i think a the aid getting into town here. last night i saw trucks delivering food, large cubes for that and throughout the town there are blue t-shirted workers flown in from manila, we understand, getting that difficult job of picking up debris around, trying to get that cleanup going. anderson, as you said, the whole issue is the need for this to be on an industrial scale, more aid and people to flood the area. there are still issues with water there are still issues

with food. more may be arriving and i'm standing here and i can see the runway where international help arrived. how fast can they get it out into the city? and the city doesn't look much different than what when you were here recently. it hasn't substantially changed. the streets covered in debris, vegetation, a real job ahead of them and anger still growing, anderson. >> in terms of, you know, we just talked about the body count. i hate to even use that term because these aren't bodies, these are people, these are human beings that deserve dignity and respect in death as they do in life. that toll has risen officially. in terms of the collect collection of people, the burial of people, what is happening? >> well, we have seen in the past 24 hours, certainly i've seen an effort to collect bodies that line the street. there are fresh bodies but thinking these are the same left

out for the day. that collection has certainly gone underway. where i'm standing is where they finally come. this orange truck behind me right now absolutely loaded to the brim with bodies brought in from the city itself. this is where the grim task of accounting those dead happens. behind me here, these are the bodies which they believe they are able to identify, that they know who they actually are and during the morning, we've seen a slow and steady stream of relatives trying to get news, trying to work out exactly whether these bodies are those they have been looking for. two people turning up finding bureaucratically, they aren't able to match up id cards. the bureaucratic scheme. these bodies, though, these are identified. people seem to believe they know who they are. so many of these bodies, though, hard to distinguish because the damage the water has taken upon them, the damage of decay. i spoke to one man this morning that said quite simply he found

his father amongst these bodies here, came here from manila and buried him separately but does believe his mother, yet to be identified may be among these body bags here, anderson. >> it's one of the horrors of a situation like this, and you can't really understand until you have actually seen what happens to people who have been outside who have drowned under these kind of conditions, but without getting into too many details, it's very hard to identify people, even the they are your closest loved one, often you cannot tell who you are looking at and imagine that horror of going and looking at hundreds of people, dead people and not being able to tell who your wife is, who your child is. it's just one of the many horrors that we are seeing on the ground in the disaster zone. nick, i'll talk to you later on in the program. we left tacloban for logistical

reasons, a few hours ago really overnight in the philippines, and it's now friday morning here in the philippines. basically, the seven-day an verse -- the seven day week long anniversary from when the storm took place. before we left, we went back out into the neighborhoods that we first visited, a neighborhood not far from the airport to see and reconnect with some of the people we met just two days before to see if they received help. we thought if anyplace had -- was able to get aid quickly, was able to get help serving for lost loved ones, it would be an area close to the airport. here is what we saw. a body covered in a sheet, another in a makeshift coffin. there are flowers but no names, no one seems to notice anymore. to survive the living are told to forget the past, forget the

dead, but that, of course, is impossible. juan marto tries to stay busy. his child is missing. he still doesn't use the word dead. juan's father lays in their shack, his back injured in the storm. this family has suffered more than anyone ever should. how high was the water? the water was as tall as that tree? janet says her two children slipped from his grasp and drowned. i did all that i could she says, but i let them go. what can you say in the face of such sadness? juvilinn is trying to stay busy. she collected old dishes and cleaning them up. we first met her on tuesday. she showed us the bodies of three of her children. she placed them in a piece of luggage under a sheet. she was searching for her three other children. has anyone come to help you? >> no.

>> i really want to see them she says, even if it's just their bodies. two days later, and she still hasn't found her three other children. has there been any help since we saw you? none she says. my children are decomposing. they are still there? no help, no local government officials, no city officials says her father, nobody is showing themselves. his injured son sits silently listening, his mother is dead, so is his aunt and nine of his cousins. in a daze he asked me when is my mother coming back? he never ever says she's missing. he still thinks she will come back. we didn't know there was a tsunami he says, we thought it was just a storm. you didn't know there would be this storm surge of water?

we've been through so many storms he says, this are many times before the house gets destroyed and we hide behind a tree. it's not water, it's just wind. it's the water that killed us. if somebody told you it would have been like a tsunami you would have left? oh, yes, he says we would have left right away. he wants to leave now on a c-130, the plane he sees every day flying evacuees to manila. his father tells him they have to stay, they have in money, just each other, that's all that's left. it's been a week since the typhoon hit and the initial adrenaline of the storm and its aftermath has faded and just the grim reality of what life is now has taken its place. people are trying to kind of rebuild, is too strong a word, just survive as best they can. people have hung up some washing on a shack that they put

together out of scrapes of tin they have been able to salvage. you see women doing washing or plates and clothing, whatever they can find that they used to own that's been spread out. people all the time walking around trying to find their possessions, just trying to find family photographs and plates and all the little things that make up a person's life. survive is still a struggle for some, more than host. two days ago we met him sharing rice with his neighbors. he desperately wanted to call his mother in manila to let her know he was alive, though his wife and two of his three children were not. we dialled our number for him on our satellite phone. >> ma, ma. >> they are all gone, they are gone he says. they are all gone. we're the only ones who survived, just the two of us survived he says. >> ma, ma. i don't know why this happened to me.

we found him again today. >> are you -- >> his grief is still overwhelming. he can't stop thinking about seeing his family drown in the storm. the first one that i saw was my youngest he says, she fainted and then she drowned. the water was so fast, and then my wife, when i tried to grab her, i missed her and then she drowned, then i never saw her again. he admits he often thinks of killing himself but hasn't because he still has one child who needs him. it's like i don't want to live anymore because of what happened to my family he tells me. all of us here lost our loved ones, but all i'm saying is people have different ways of dealing with it. how we feel, in my case, i can't handle it. in tacloban, there is little time for grief, little chance for comfort, between death and

life, the line is thin. sometimes there is no line at all. well, if you've been watching our coverage over the past week, you know we've been on the ground in tacloban and elsewhere trying to be as accurate as possible, accuracy is what we care most about here at cnn, giving information that might actually help people on the ground and help relief effort and in someway become efficient. in our reporting in the philippines has become a political issue. a broadcaster, radio broadcaster, katrina sanchez took issue with my reporting. she's the wife of the interior minister overseeing the relief effort on the ground. ms. sanchez seems to be under the mistaken position that i seen to evidence of government on the ground in tacloban. i haven't said that. i've been on the ground in tacloban for days and i've in

fact, interviewed a very heroic, philippine navy captain, captain santiago going out and helping people and i've seen the work being done and isn't being done, perhaps as importantly. ms. sanchez is welcome to go there, and i would urge her to go there. i don't know if she has but her husband is the interior minister. i'm sure she could arrange a flight. here is the broadcast that i think she thinks i said something that i didn't say in. here is what i actually said. as for who exactly is in charge of the philippines side of this operation, that is not really clear. i mean, we -- i'm just surprised that i haven't -- i expected on this day five, i thought i maybe had gotten here very late that things would be well in hand. it does not seem like that. people are desperate. people do not have anyplace for shelter. there is -- it's very difficult for people to get food. neighbors are helping out neighbors. water is in short supply. it is -- it is a very, very bad

situation here. let's remember, i was showing you a clinic several days ago at the airport that the doctors there said they didn't have enough food, they didn't have enough water for the hundreds of people they saw every day, they didn't have medical supplies. that's a clinic at the airport. if any clinic in the entire disaster zone should be able to receive aid quickly and easily, it's the clinic at the airport and they were not getting it. i don't know the situation there today. i certainly pray to god that it's a better situation than it was even two days ago. the president of the philippines has counseled foreign journalist they should be accurate in reports and we certainly appreciate that. accuracy is what we strive for. i read in the paper today, the first time i read the news. the president said the media should up lift the spirits of the philippine people to find stories of hope and faith and show the world how strong the

philippine people are. i would say all week long in every report we have done, we've shown how strong the philippine people are. the philippine people, the people of tacloban and cebu and so many who have died, they are strong to survive the storm and strong to have survived the aftermath of this storm. they have survived for a week now often with very little food, with very little water, with very little medical attention. can you imagine the strength it takes to be living a shack, to be living sleeping on the streets next to the body of your dead children? can you imagine that strength? i can't. and i've seen that strength day in and day out here in the philippines. and we honor them with every broadcast that we do. we're going to take a quick break. our coverage from the philippines is going to continue. we're also going to have domestic news from the united states, big developments in the obama care situation and we'll go to wolf blitzer after the short break. we'll have a lot more from the philippines. we'll be right back.

i got this. [thinking] is it that time? the son picks up the check? [thinking] i'm still working. he's retired. i hope he's saving. i hope he saved enough. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. whether you're just starting your 401(k) or you are ready for retirement, we'll help you get there. yeah. i heard about progressive's "name your price" tool? i guess you can tell them how much you want to pay and it gives you a range of options to choose from. huh? i'm looking at it right now. oh, yeah? yeah.

what's the... guest room situation? the "name your price" tool, making the world a little more progressive. maestro of project management. baron of the build-out. you need a permit... to be this awesome. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle... and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. (aaron) purrrfect. (vo) meee-ow, business pro. meee-ow. go national. go like a pro.

hey, i'm anderson cooper live here from manila. we'll tell you more. i want to go in particular the children, the children from the storm. we'll talk to a relief worker focussing on the needs of kids and the needs are so great. i want to go to the united states and join up with wolf blitzer in washington with the latest news from the u.s. wolf? >> anderson, you're doing an amazing job from the philippines. we're all very, very grateful for your hard work and the hard work of your producers, your crews. we'll get back to you in a few moments. there is other news we're following here in the united states in raw politics. president obama went in front of the cameras today and fell on his sword taking full blame for the botched rollout of the affordable care act website and telling americans he's not a perfect man. listen to this. >> i think it's legitimate for them to expect me to have to win

health care law in particular, and on a whole range of these issues in general. and, you know, that's on me. i mean, we fumbled the rollout on this health care law. i think i said early on when running, i'm not a perfect man and i will not be a perfect president. but i'll wake up every single day working as hard as i can on behalf of americans out there in every walk of life who are working hard, meeting their responsibilities, but sometimes are struggling because the way the system works isn't giving them a fair shot, and that pledge i haven't broken. at the news conference, the president was very, very firm in making the case he has rules ready to announce to deal with

the people whose health insurance is cancelled under the affordable care act, cancelled despite his many promises that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. the announcement today was a reversal for the president, comes amid out right hostility but perhaps now even more significantly some growing anger, even from some democratic lawmakers who supported the president's health care plan. democrats and republicans plan to announce bills to delay key parts of the affordable care act. the politics, i have to tell you are raw. we want to focus on the facts, though, tonight. how this new fix, as it's called will work and whether it will actually help those who lost their insurance. our chief national correspondent john king is joining me now. john, the announcement from the president, who gets helped by it and who doesn't? >> wolf, we can't answer the question definitively but the president's goal is to help those americans they viewed him breaking his promise or getting cancellation letters because

their past insurance plans they liked aren't up to the new obama care standards. the president is saying he's giving the insurance companies the green light to go back and reissue and say never mind for one more year, you can keep the policy if you like it. it's not just up to the president. as he noted today, wolf, state commissioners had the authority to say yeah or nay. we'll have to watch this play out and here is the risk, as well. some of those people might get the news they want, a letter from their insurance company saying you can keep that plan but the industry is warning with that letter could come a premium increase. the president is hoping to ease the anger outside of washington for those who got cancellations letter. inside washington, raw politics and a lot of democrats thinking the president didn't do today to top the bleeding. >> they have been trying to remain allies throughout all of this, but not everyone in the industry right now is very pleased with the announcement,

are they? >> no, you spoke to a key representative of the insurance industry today, karen and equated this to changing the rules of the baseball game in the ninth inning. they think they will loose some money and get that money back by having so many more people into the pool, however, the industry is number one, they have to go back in many cases and tell those people whose policies were chanced, you can have it back. it's going to be confusing. the industry is worried people will say hey, the president said you have to give me my plan back and they will be l get blamed. they are worried about uncertainty, wolf, tumble in the marketplace and again, they are worried if the companies keep side the only way to do this is raise rates, they will get the blame, not the politicians. >> enormous problems are right now all around, john, thanks very much. the fix that president obama announced today falls short of what some members of his own party are pressing for including senator joe of west virginia, a red state democrat and joins us tonight.

senator, what is your reaction to the president's announcement today, the temporary fix that would attempt to save at least some of those insurance policies that were cancelled because they didn't meet the overall standards of the affordable care act? does the president go far enough? >> well, first of all, it's a step in the right direction. i appreciate that. we got to keep our promise they were made to them. if i had a policy, i was insured and keep it you want to delay the bill. >> i said no harm, keep the bill until 2014. a transition year is needed until january of 2015. >> the white house asked if there is new legislation and you have new legislation to give the

president's new administrative fix time to work. should congress wait? >> i think congress has been pretty patient, if you will. waiting now to see what works and what doesn't, we have people hitting deadlines. people believe they will be committing a crime or be fined if they don't buy a product they couldn't get on because of the glitches. if the president and administration will look, those of us trying to work and fix things and trying to be constructive, not destructive. that's what they need to look for. we're saying, listen, work through it and see if we can get the industry, insurance industry working with us, not against us. if that policy is richer than we can afford, we need to look at things differently like some people that got cancellations. they bought insurance policies. this administration or this bill believes inferior. they didn't believe it was inferior.

they believed it was what they could afford and gave them protection. >> you're a former governor of west virginia. your lifetime achievement, the greatest achievement of your administration and three years together, it turns out the rollout, the website and a bunch of other stuff, such a disaster, would you have fired someone? >> throwing people out won't fix it. you need people committed and dedicated. they will fix the glitches, wolf. do we have the product people want and the product there is value in? that's what hasn't been sod yet. if there needs to be tweaking, that's the one-year transition that would work absolutely beautifully. give us the breathing time to make sure you're selling me a product that i like, that i think is good and will help me and my family and i'll buy it, i want it. >> thanks for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. up next, the wild political story up north that won't let

up. a rant from toronto's mayor who is in a heap of trouble. we'll have a full report from toronto but in the meantime, let's go back to anderson, he's joining us from the philippines, anderson? >> yeah, hey, wolf, in audition to the report from toronto, we'll focus more on the situation here in the philippines. we've seen you day after day so many children that lost their lives and parents searching for their children. there are children here in need of help. we'll talk to an aid worker of what the needs of the kids are and how everyone, all of us can help. we'll be right back. vo: two years of grad school. 20 years with the company. thousands of presentations.

and one hard earned partnership. it took a lot of work to get this far. so now i'm supposed to take a back seat when it comes to my investments? there's zero chance of that happening. avo: when you work with a schwab financial consultant, you'll get the guidance you need with the control you want. talk to us today.

hey, welcome back, reporting from manila live in the philippines on basically the one-week anniversary of this storm. it is friday morning here in the philippines and we want to give you updates to breaking news at this hour. the official death toll, according to the philippine government has now risen. the number of people they died say is above 2,300. there is some discrepancy, the u.n. on a website says that the official death toll, they believe the death toll is closer to 4500 people, several dozen short of 4500. but again, it's -- there are no accurate numbers at this point. i think that's the bottom line. we haven't been stressing numbers in the week of our reporting because frankly, you go in the neighborhoods and

there are so many people unaccounted for, missing, family members searching for loved ones and people. human beings laying there that nobody have collected and officially counted. so we're staying away from numbers but the needs are great. there are thousands, of course, probably tens of thousands in need of medical attention, routine medical attention, dialysis and the like and dee hydration because of lack of water. food and food delivery but cannot come fast enough. we'll focus on the needs of children but i want to go back to wolf blitzer for developments there, wolf? >> different stories. over here, anderson, looking forward to your reports. our viewers and us are grateful for your reports. the younger brother of toronto's crack smoking mayor is urging him to take a leave of absence.

it comes after the mayor maxed out the shock factor he managed to take it to another level with allude remark. the outburst came a day after the city counsel voted to ask him to take a leave of absence. not only is ford refusing to leave, he's digging in and taking no prisoners. paula newton is joining us with more. what is the latest, paula? >> reporter: well, counsel source telling us indeed today doug ford did ask his brother that it was time for him to finally take a leave. that is a departure, wolf. you know, one of the criticisms, the people that matter the most were not encouraging him to take the leave. this is a significant development. yesterday when i spoke with doug ford he said look, it's been tough and you're about to see

why it got a whole lot tougher today. >> watch my wife, man. >> reporter: pushing, shoving, yelling, threats, another day in mayor ford's city hall. like the rumble in the jungle he promised. he literally crashed his way out of the office, defiant and angry trying to pull his wife out of a crush of journalist and if that scene wasn't shocking enough, the back story was worse. rob ford came out swinging first thing in the morning, announcing that the fresh allegations of him using cocaine, driving drunk and being with prostitutes are false, and he's suing his former staff members for making the allegations to police. >> that is out right lies. that is not true. you know what? what it hurts my wife when they are calling a friend of mine a prostitute. helen is not a prostitute, she's a friend and it makes me sick.

>> reporter: what he says next in the most vulgar way, hit like a bomb live on canadian tv. the mayor denying he ever said he wanted to have oral sex with a former staff member. olivia said i wanted to [ bleep ] i never said that. >> reporter: his crudeness shocking, too, for his wife who made a rare appearance at his side hours later as her husband tried to make amends. >> ladies and gentlemen, i want to apologize for my graphic remarks this morning. >> reporter: mayor ford then disclosed yes, he's getting help. >> i have been under tremendous, tremendous stress. the stress is largely in my own making. i have apologized and i have tried to move forward. this has proven to be almost

impossible. the revelations yesterday of cocaine, escorts and prostitution has pushed me over the line, and i used unforgivable language, and again, i apologize. >> reporter: was he over the line or over the edge? jay robinson is a city counselor and once a member of ford's executive team. >> we cannot say mayor ford, leave the building. we cannot say step aside. we cannot say resign. none of it is really in our jurisdiction to make that happen. >> reporter: so shocking for people to hear that. >> i know. it is very -- and it's not just shocking for you. it's shocking for the residents of tore reason toe. they didn't realize that we did not have that power. >> reporter: several times on this day alone, mayor ford looked like a man unable to racially cope with his personal

and political troubles. >> none of you guys have ever ever had a drink and got behind the wheel, i know that. >> reporter: and yet, no one expects the mayor to step down, no, he's doubling down. next week we'll see the debut of a new tv talk show with his brother doug. i can't under score enough how rare that appearance of his wife was. this is a woman that doesn't do any official appearances with her husband. this is a woman who sends her school to morning, picks them up at night, so significant she was there today. we expected perhaps he would announce he was taking a leave of absence that didn't happen. it could change now that his brother is actually encouraging him to take some time off. wolf? >> we'll see if he does anything along those lines. paula, thanks so much. paula newton reporting from toronto. let's go back to anderson in manila, anderson? >> wolf, did i hear the mayor is going to start doing a talk show? >> yes, yes.

>> next week? >> can you imagine with his brother, a talk show, maybe a reality show but it's -- you heard right, all the way in the philippines, you heard it accurate. >> wow, okay. [ laughter ] i know i'm tired. i wanted to make sure. we'll obviously continue that next week and tomorrow, as well. when we come back, we want to look at the flight of kids here, the most vulnerable, obviously. we'll talk to unisf that does a lot of work on the ground and are helping to get them clean water. we'll talk about that. we'll talk to an aunt whose niece and enough fee, their parents are missing. she herself is pregnant but she's determined to help those kids until she can find out what happened to their parents. we'll be right back. honestly, as much as i love this job, i plan to do a lot more.

people are missing and getting information about a lost loved one is very, very difficult. so many people are frankly just disappearing. lack of information is a big problem. anna found a philippine american woman on vacation here in the philippines. she was pregnant. when the storm hit she was able to get to safety. she brought a niece and nephew with her but other family members stayed in harm's way. they are trying to get information what happened to those family members, here is her story. >> reporter: distraught and traumatized, his arm in a sling, benjamin delivers a desperate message to the disaster zone. watching a local news channel in a hotel room 160 miles away, jasmine is overwhelmed to see her father. before spotting her brother in the background. he tells her not to come to

tacloban because it's unsafe, but the words that follow fill jasmine with fear. >> they were saying if you're going to ask me about any question what happened to our family, then you can ask me when we see each other. >> reporter: jasmine lives in new orleans with her american husband and was on vacation visiting her husband in tacloban. the day before the monster storm ravaged parts of the philippines, she took her young niece and nephew on their first plane trip to cebu. while they were safe away from the eye of the storm, 16 of her family members huddled together as the winds tore the roof of the building they were sheltering in. >> the reason all of them are gone, you know, they are not there or i don't know. i don't know what to expect. >> reporter: among the missing, the parents of the children who are now in her care. >> the people of the tacloban no

house and there is no foods, water, and many people died, and i'm sad because my family -- i don't know wheres my family now. >> reporter: fearing the worst, a heavily pregnant jasmine asked to take the children back to the united states where she's due to give birth but philippine authorities refused saying they need parental permission to get a passport to be granted a u.s. visa, an impossible task. jasmine won't abandon them and will stay in the philippines until her surviving family can be reunited. >> i miss my brother and my sister. my mom. i miss them. >> reporter: anderson, this is a heart breaking story and so many more like them.

so many people are trying to get out of the disaster zones. they brought the c-130 plane. up until the last day or so, military is operating with three c-130s and just highlights -- it took more than six hours to get their cargo off the plane here at the air base because there is only one forklift operating. it really is frightening considering the scale of this disaster. >> yeah. they got to get forklifts in a lot of places. in semar, the marines know about it and said they will get some forklifts in there even in tacloban, that the an issue. appreciate that incredible story.

flying a plane into tack. so getting these things to the people is very important. we've got to do it as quick as we can.

there is difficulty accessing these communities that the logjam is breaking up and we're getting things to people. the needs are great. in some communities we could say that some people need everything. the scale is a man's. working with other agencies, with the government, to make things happen. >> this is a situation where everything is needed. the home has been like the way, the food source has been like the way. there are no jobs. all these things we never think about in our day-to-day life which make up the life of a child. you are trying to keep them alive. >> this is why this is so complex, this emergency to get

kids who don't go to school right now, all classes are suspended and there are no schools. we need to get them into a child friendly spaces where they are protected. frees up the parents to take care of the needs to try to find work and get money. complicated and complex and everything is interrelated. >> unicef.org is the website? >> yes. >> appreciate what you're doing. we'll continue to check in with you. we'll talk to our reporters spread throughout the region for all the latest on the relief effort.

welcome back to the continuing coverage live here in manila. i want to go to nick paton walsh in tacloban. nick, this is a report out that i just saw saying they have a number out for death toll in tacloban, a big number. explain the confusion over the numbers of dead, please.

>> well, they are saying 4,000 died in tacloban alone according to officials here. we sent our producer up. they seen the white board and asked officials where they got the number. they aren't entirely sure how they came to it and try to find a woman who wrote the number on the board and weren't able to do that. the idea the death toll is adjusted upwards and makes sense. in the neighboring town there were more. it is probably going to go higher than 2,000. it gives you the idea of the contusion accounting for the dead. they may have numbers coming up but aren't sure how rock solid they are and got to them and shows you the chaos of viewing people's lives. imagine trying to get food and water and the simple mechanics

of getting dead bodies and burying them is beyond the task of the government here. anderson. >> i've been watching here in cebu, the lack of communication is part of the problem, getting information. >> that's right, and we traveled to the first landfall of the typhoon. you were there yesterday, and people still haven't been able to reach their loved ones on other islands in the philippines to them them they are still alive. they are resorting to flying out handwritten notes. we seen one waiting to be sent out on a flight saying we're okay and we're alive and i met a mother who traveled by boat 22 hours from cebu to be reunited with her 8-year-old boy who she had been cut off, she didn't know whether or not he was alive and we saw that glorious reunion amid all that uncertainty and fear.

i have to say, all this destruction, i was struck where the death toll was about 87 in a town of more than 40,000 people, to see people in the houses laughing, joking with a foreign near like me, perhaps will be the greatest resource the fill -- people have that will take them ahead, anderson. >> we talked about at the top of the program, andrew stevens, the strength and dignity. you say how are you doing, they say i'm okay. have you lost anybody? yes, i've lost three of my children. six of my children. their strength is extraordinary. >> it is. many of these people live a tough life at the best of times trying to make it and struck, even resilience struck just how they deal with this, two days afterwards when a lot of people would have been too stunned to

move. people were gathering in groups, talking as i was, like laughing. a lot of people i was talking to saying thank you, thank you so much for being here. so polite and grace shows. >> reports of looting and stuff, it's easy to stress that too much. by in large i've been stunned at the response of individuals to this tragedy and there again, just their strength and continued courage. andrew, appreciate your reporting. you've been there from the beginning. we'll have more when we come back.
