Watch the story of a dive guide from Malapascua and his life after Haiyan

CEBU, Philippines – Raw beauty, calm greenery, and pristine turquoise waters – this is Malapascua, a tropical island on the north coast of Cebu. Underwater, the breathtaking marine life is not only a paradise to man, but is also the only haven of the Pelagic Thresher Shark.

Among these million workers is Ronel, a dive guide from the Malapascua Exotic Beach and Dive resort. This video from Biemann PH tells the story of his loss and how he and the island bounces back – Rappler.com
