Tens of thousands in Philippine sect's walk for typhoon aid

MANILA: Tens of thousands of members of a Philippine sect took to the streets in Manila on Saturday in a charity walk to raise funds for survivors of the country's deadliest typhoon.

Members of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) poured into the capital's seaside avenue in response to the politically influential sect's appeal to help compatriots caught up by Super Typhoon Haiyan's onslaught.
