In remote areas along the coastline of northern Mindanao Island of the Philippines, there are countless fishery villages and mining towns. Numerous villages were seriously attacked by super typhoon Odette on Dec. 16, 2021, causing a complete blackout up to today, and the first dark Christmas was inevitably experienced by the villagers.
