Resident Daphne Baui stood from her apartment balcony to film the strong winds blowing through the capital Manila on May 1.

As she recorded the dreary scenery with overcast skies, the knickers suddenly fluttered into view, blown from a clothesline and flying several storeys above the ground.

The undergarments opened like a parachute and continued their journey across the neighbourhood.

The Philippines and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are approaching their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms in the afternoon leading to widespread flash floods.
