A month after the tragedy that devastated most parts of Benguet, the families that are most affected are scrounging around trying to rebuild their lives. After the sorrowful lamentations of having to lose family members and properties, the slow and painful process of starting again from scratch and the will to hang on to sanity is a fight against self itself.
