Philippines weather: Monsoon and cyclones cause deaths and flooding
Severe weather caused by the enhanced southwest monsoon (Habagat) and tropical cyclones Luis and Maymay has battered the Philippines, leading to significant casualties and widespread disruption. Reports indicate a death toll ranging from at least 6 to 15 people, with numerous injuries and missing persons reported across Luzon, particularly in Benguet, Rizal, and Batangas.
Flooding and landslides have affected hundreds of thousands of residents across multiple regions. In Metro Manila, floodwaters reached waist-deep in several areas, prompting the suspension of face-to-face classes and the implementation of work-from-home arrangements for government offices in the National Capital Region and 15 other provinces.
Infrastructure and logistics have been impacted, with shipping operations suspended in 20 ports in the central and eastern regions. The Department of Social Welfare and Development has distributed over 39 million pesos in aid to affected families, while thousands of residents have sought refuge in evacuation centers and local shopping malls.
