Melbina's place of business and home were completely destroyed by the typhoon. In order to keep feeding her family, she immediately moved next door to her sister-in-law's house where she continues selling breakfasts, lunches and dinners. She said that her business has been running OK since the typhoon, as people still come to eat. She makes a soup called Paclay, which is her speciality that people come for, along with the barbecued food that she sells. Most of her clients are her neighbours but often people from other villages as her food is so good.
