Super Typhoon Pepito weakens after landfall in the Philippines

Super Typhoon Pepito weakened after making landfall in Catanduanes on Saturday night. By Sunday morning, it had moved to Camarines Norte and was expected to weaken further before its second landfall in Aurora province. Despite the storm's intensity, significant damage was not reported in many areas of Bicol. However, Catanduanes experienced heavy impacts, with 11 out of 16 municipalities affected. Over 18,000 residents were evacuated ahead of the storm's second landfall. Local officials are seeking aid for those whose homes were destroyed. Many areas remain inaccessible due to landslides, complicating relief efforts. Flooding and power outages have also been reported in several provinces.
