Diner ignores deadly Typhoon Doksuri so he can enjoy his porridge

This hungry diner carried on eating his porridge while being battered by heavy rain during Typhoon Doksuri in the Philippines.

Footage shows the customer named Joenel devouring his bowl of hot porridge at a stall in Manila.

Despite being drenched by the downpour - the parasol above his head proving ineffective - he tucked into his meal.

Joenel's uncle Edwin Sunaz, who also owns the porridge stall, said: “He visited us in Quezon City, but it was raining at the time. He was soaked through but he didn't care. He really enjoyed the hot porridge because it was cold and raining.”
