Recent tornado damages in the Philippines

This just happened. Again.


This time, in a town in Cebu province, a tornado damaged 50 houses.

Anyone who has photos or videos?

I go back to June 2011, where a "mild tornado" caused some damages in Quezon City in Metro Manila:



While certainly these could have really been due to tornadoes, I would ask first if they were indeed tornadoes. Aren't there any photos or videos? Secondly, aren't anyone alarmed that these could happen over and over and over again? What are people doing? Are there people studying these small-scale "tornado" effects? Anybody try to find out what are the maximum wind speeds?
