MANILA (AFP): Typhoon Man-yi lashed the Philippines' most populous island on Sunday, with the national weather service warning of flooding, landslides and huge waves as the storm sweeps across the archipelago nation.
Man-yi was still a super typhoon when it made its second landfall on Luzon, with maximum sustained winds of 185 kilometres (115 miles) per hour, but was downgraded to a typhoon category as it traversed the mountainous island.
