There's not much hope of finding any more survivors of
last week's mudslide on the Philippine island of Leyte. It's
feared that more than 1000 have died. An entire village was
buried in mud, and deforestation over the years is said to have
been the cause of the landslide. Deforestation is a constant
subject for writer Marianne Villanueva, who lives in the San
Francisco Bay Area but returns often to her family in the
Philippines. She reads an excerpt from the short story "Extinction."
