Death toll from Philippine floods, landslides rises to 21

China Daily  

MANILA -- Reported deaths from heavy rains, massive flooding, and landslides triggered by southwest monsoon enhanced by typhoon Gaemi have climbed to 21, police said on Thursday. In a preliminary report, police said seven people died in the Philippine capital region Manila, three in Cavite province, five in Batangas province, and three in Rizal province. The Philippines' national disaster agency has yet to report deaths due to the twin effects of southwest monsoon and Gaemi, which exits the Philippines on Thursday morning. Gaemi, the third typhoon to lash the Philippines this year, has dumped rains, triggering flash floods and landslides in Metro Manila and many regions.
