Typhoon Man-yi strikes northern Philippines, displacing 400,000 and causing severe damage

A powerful typhoon, Man-yi, struck the northern Philippines, displacing about 400,000 people and causing significant damage. It made landfall in Catanduanes with winds reaching 195 kilometers per hour, leading to tidal surges over 7 meters high. The typhoon is the sixth major storm to hit the country in less than a month, following previous storms that have already caused extensive damage and left over 160 people dead. Emergency shelters are filled, and many areas, including Catanduanes, are without power. In response to the storm, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. held an emergency meeting and urged preparedness for severe impacts. Multiple airports and ferry services were suspended, stranding thousands as the government received aid from allies like the United States and Singapore.
