Typhoon Man-yi strikes northern Philippines, displacing 400,000 people

A powerful typhoon, Man-yi, struck the northern Philippines, displacing about 400,000 people. It made landfall in Catanduanes with winds reaching 195 kilometers per hour, causing severe damage and prompting evacuations to emergency shelters. The typhoon is the sixth major storm to hit the country in less than a month, following previous storms that have already caused significant destruction. Many areas, including Catanduanes, are without power, and officials are assessing the extent of the damage. In response to the storm, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. held an emergency meeting and urged preparedness for severe impacts. Transportation services were disrupted, with multiple airports closed and ferry services suspended.
