Philippines evacuates thousands as Super Typhoon Man-yi approaches landfall
The Philippines is evacuating hundreds of thousands as Super Typhoon Man-yi approaches, packing winds of 240 km/h. The storm is expected to make landfall near Catanduanes on Saturday night or early Sunday, raising concerns for millions at risk. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered government agencies to prepare for a worst-case scenario. Nearly 180,000 people have already been evacuated from the central Bicol region, which is still recovering from a recent storm. Man-yi has led to the cancellation of numerous flights and the imposition of a curfew in Naga City. Authorities warn of dangerous storm surges and heavy rains, with the potential for life-threatening conditions in affected areas.
