Torrential rains from Tropical Storm Penha caused severe flooding and a landslide, displacing over 6,000 people and killing four, officials said.
- Late Thursday, Tropical Storm Penha slammed ashore onto Surigao del Sur province, triggering flooding and a landslide that killed at least four and displaced more than 6,000 in the southern Philippines.
- The storm's 660-kilometer rain-and-wind band hit ahead of summer, and torrential rains triggered a quarry area landslide that killed a couple and two children.
- A resident in Iligan called a radio network Friday pleading to be rescued from a second-floor room as floodwater rose and trapped her and three other family members, Sugarol said. Rescuers are on the way.
- By Friday, about 5,800 people moved to evacuation centers as classes were suspended, and forecasters said Penha was expected to weaken into a tropical depression as it tracked northwest toward western Palawan.
- The Philippines is battered by about 20 typhoons and storms each year, with some reports citing more than 28,000 displaced villagers seeking refuge in emergency shelters amid over a dozen active volcanoes.
