In this December 7, 2013, file photo, Filipino groom Earvin Nierva, left, kisses his bride Riza as they pose for their wedding pictures taken by a photographer beside damaged homes and a ship that was washed ashore when Typhoon Haiyan hit Tacloban city, central Philippines. The newly-wed couple decided to have the photo shoot at the area to symbolize that they can overcome tragedy and to urge residents to “stand up and rise again”. Filipinos are facing the powerful Typhoon Mangkhut with the memory of another devastating storm still fresh in their minds. Nearly five years ago, Typhoon Haiyan left more than 7,300 people dead or missing, flattened entire villages, swept ships inland and displaced more than 5 million in the central Philippines, well to the south of Mangkhut’s path.
