MANILA: Numerous areas mainly in Luzon and the Visayas were battered by heavy rains caused by Tropical Storm “Crising” on Friday (July 18), some already reeling from the effects of the southwest monsoon (“habagat”) since Wednesday (July 16), leaving at least two persons dead and displacing thousands of families.
Nonstop rains also forced the suspension of classes and government and business operations in cities and towns, and prompted some local governments to place their areas in a state of calamity.
