The Philippines has suffered 26 deaths due to the combined impact of Tropical Cyclones Luis and Maymay, alongside the intensified southwest monsoon, locally known as ‘habagat’. The Philippine National Police reported the fatalities as the country grapples with ongoing inclement weather. The storms and monsoon rains have caused widespread disruption and raised concerns about potential landslides and flooding. Authorities are continuing to assess the full extent of the damage and provide assistance to affected communities. Rescue and relief operations are underway in areas heavily impacted by the weather systems. The government urges residents in vulnerable areas to remain vigilant and heed evacuation orders.
