MANILA: Philippine authorities on Tuesday (July 22) warned of continued strong rains this week that have killed six people, cut power in some areas and forced thousands to evacuate in the capital and nearby provinces.
Monsoon rains and a tropical storm have combined to pour the equivalent of a month’s worth of rain in just four days, Manila’s weather bureau said, submerging many cities and displacing more than 17,000 individuals.
