Philippine news – Typhoon brings massive floods

The topical storm hitting Manila and the rest of the Philippines right now has dumped a month’s rain in just a few hours, causing severe flooding in many areas. Four children are believed to have perished with another four unaccounted for at this stage. The storm is expected to continue for another few hours, with flood waters already three-fee-deep in places. Residents near the Angat Dam are being evacuated as the water level in the reservoir has almost reached the spill-over point. Communications in parts of the country have been disrupted and reports of damage and loss of life are still sketchy. Further reports are expected from Bloomberg.com’s reporter on the ground in Manila.
