This aerial photo shows the devastation in Loon township, Bohol province in central Philippines Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2013, a day after a 7.2-magnitude quake hit Bohol and Cebu province. The earthquake that struck the central Philippines and killed over a hundred people also dealt a serious blow to the region's historical and religious legacy by heavily damaging a dozen or more churches, some of them hundreds of years old.
十月十六日周三,一張空拍照片讓菲律賓中部保和省龍恩小鎮的殘破景象一覽無遺。前一天,保和省和宿霧省發生規模七點二級的大地震。這起地震發生在菲律賓中部,造成一百多人喪命,當地的歷史和宗教遺產也受到重擊,十來座教堂嚴重受損,其中有些還是有數百年歷史的古蹟。編譯/楊慧莉
