Heavy monsoon rains fuelled by moisture, caused flooding and landslides in several areas of Luzon island and prompted the evacuation of residents in low-lying communities. Floodwater up to 5 feet high reportedly destroyed more than 170 villages, leaving at least three people dead, five people were injured and 450 houses were damaged according to authorities of Luzon and the National capital region. Local government units are conducting assessments, coordinating response efforts, and providing relief items.
