The death toll from a powerful storm that triggered flooding and landslides across the Philippines has reached 150, disaster officials said, as more rain was forecast in some of the hardest-hit areas.

More than 355,400 people fled their homes as severe tropical storm Nalgae pounded swathes of the archipelago nation late last week and over the weekend.
