As the death toll for Typhoon Kalmaegi rose into the triple digits, the country braced for another tropical storm expected this weekend.

The Philippines reported 2,157 new coronavirus infections on Saturday, taking the total to 393,961, its health ministry said.

Still reeling from the disaster of Typhoon Kalmaegi (formerly Tino), the Philippines may be hit by a super typhoon during the weekend as Tropical Storm Fung-Wong heads towards Luzon, PAGASA said on Thursday,

In the event of a war, officials believe local forces must hold out for at least a month before reinforcements from allies arrive.

Forceful floodwaters in Cebu province, Philippines, picked up and rolled shipping containers on 4 November. At least three people have died, disaster management officials say. Residents were forced to seek shelter from the high water on rooftops.

More than 40 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced as rains driven by Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) flooded swathes of the central Philippines on Tuesday.
