The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)
warned
of potential flooding in urban and low-lying areas, as well as landslides in mountainous regions. Riverbanks and flood-prone districts remain under close watch as rainfall continues.
At least five people have died, and seven others remain missing following intense rains and the impact of Typhoon Wipha over the weekend, according to the latest update from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
