Filipino priests bless newly acquired rubber boats and other vehicles as part of the Philippine National Police disaster preparedness and anti-crime campaign at police headquarters in suburban Quezon City, north of Manila, Philippines on Wednesday Oct. 21, 2009. Authorities distributed canned goods and rescue boats and kept helicopters on standby as Typhoon Lupit slowed to a crawl along a course that forecasters said might hit the northern Philippines by Friday or veer toward Taiwan.
