Manila 🇵🇭 floods 🌊 amidst tropical depression in Philippines

Two people were killed, and another 13 people are missing after a tropical depression brought torrential rain across the Philippines.

The storm came ashore in the province of Quezon with winds of only 60km/h, but the amount of rain it packed was phenomenal.

As the depression tracked west across Luzon island, Alabat was hit by 538 millimetres of rain, Ambulong 315mm and Tayabas 238mm.

Authorities ordered the evacuation of residents in some towns submerged by floodwater in Quezon and Laguna, where 13 people were reported missing.

The torrential rain also triggered a landslide in Taytay, a municipality just 20km from Manila, which killed at least two people according to local media.
