 Tropical cyclones and monsoon rains kill dozens in Philippines 

Multiple tropical cyclones combined with the Philippines’ annual monsoon season have caused widespread flooding, landslides, and power outages, affecting millions across the country and resulting in more than two dozen deaths, according to government officials. Tropical Cyclone Emong, together with the heavy rains from the monsoon known locally as Habagat, has severely disrupted infrastructure and forced the closure of schools in many areas. Over 53,000 families have been displaced and are now seeking refuge in evacuation centers, while many of the hardest-hit regions remain difficult to access due to flooded roads.


Disaster declarations have been issued for at least 88 cities and municipalities, enabling faster deployment of emergency funds and aid. Despite damage to several government facilities in northern regions, rescue operations continue, with aircraft being used to reach isolated communities. Deputy Administrator Rafaelito Alejandro praised the efforts of rescuers and humanitarian workers, emphasizing their vital role in disaster response. Since the flooding began, the government has distributed about $5 million in emergency supplies, including food, clean water, shelter materials, and hygiene kits. 

The U.S. government has also pledged roughly $250,000 to support relief efforts through the United Nations World Food Programme. With additional rain forecasted and the monsoon season expected to last into October, officials have urged residents in vulnerable areas to remain vigilant and seek higher ground as needed. The Philippines typically experiences around 20 tropical cyclones annually, with 8 to 9 making landfall each year.
