(MENAFN) On Sunday, Jul. 25 authorities stated that more than three people lost their lives and five were wounded in the northern Philippines following days of intensive monsoon showers.
Intense rainfall boosted by a typhoon hammered down Metro Manila and a lot of parts of the Philippines this week, resulting in floods and dislocating people in low-lying areas.
Three fatalities and five wounds were unlinked to flooding and mudslides, said National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) executive director Ricardo Jalad to a radio interview.
Jalad noted one died after a tree collapsed on a vehicle the victim was driving on the thoroughfare, whereas the other two lost their lives after being struck by lightning.
