We are hoping that the floods will subside today since the rain has stopped.\u201d Andre Dizon, Police Director for the Bicol region, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>The storm\u2019s impact has left numerous regions devastated, particularly in Bicol, where President Ferdinand Marcos, while addressing the press, pointed out the challenge of accessing affected areas due to unexpected landslides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were landslides in areas that didn\u2019t have landslides before&#8230; so I guess the soil is completely saturated, the water has nowhere to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cities of Naga and Legazpi were reporting \u201cmany casualties but we haven\u2019t been able to get in yet,\u201d Marcos added.<\/p>\n<p>As Trami moved over the South China Sea, the death toll increased. In Batangas province, south of the capital Manila, police staff, sergeant Nelson Cabuso told AFP of the discovery of six bodies in the flood-ravaged village of Sampaloc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe area was hit by a flash flood yesterday. Our people are still in the area to check if there are other casualties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Corporal Alvin de Leon said another five people were killed in a flash flood in the coastal village of Subic Ilaya, pushing the toll to at least 40, according to an AFP tally from police and disaster officials.<\/p>\n<p>Warnings of storm surges remained in place along Luzon\u2019s west coast, with potential waves up to two meters high.<\/p>\n<p>Batangas saw record rainfall, with over 390 millimetres of rain reported on October 24-25. Government offices and schools were closed across Luzon on Friday, as officials advised caution.<\/p>\n<p>Around 193,000 people had been evacuated by Thursday, particularly in Bicol, where unprecedented flooding drove more than 30,000 to safety in a single day.<\/p>\n<p>In some towns, floodwaters nearly submerged homes, and residents stranded on rooftops appealed for rescue via social media. Rescue boats were deployed in Naga and Nabua to reach those in need.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 20 major storms strike the Philippines each year, bringing widespread damage. However, recent studies indicate that climate change is causing storms in the Asia-Pacific to intensify more quickly, impact coastlines sooner, and sustain their strength longer on land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
