'There's no (point) denying the fact that what has just happened in the Philippines is a natural disaster of the first magnitude.'
'It is no (point) denying the fact' is what a lot of people say, but it is incorrect English. It probably arises from people mishearing the previous construction, and then from others copying them. In a similar way some people say 'I would of gone', when they should say 'I would have gone'
