If I could add to that, during this period, the staff in the office have been working extremely hard. Filipinos are very loyal to their comrades, and they feel very much for people affected by the typhoon, so they've been devoting many, many hours of work to this. I think at the moment our processing times are actually improving, rather than diminishing, because of the devotion of every member of the team working on this crisis.
