Fans gathered in the rain with umbrellas overhead to watch a pop concert in the Philippines.

Footage shows the crowd raising their parasol to shield themselves from the downpour in Benguet province.

Despite the bad weather, they refused to leave the venue and sang along to their favourite band, which was performing from inside a modified bus.

Their colourful canopies filled the area as they swayed to the beat of the Tagalog song 'Multo' meaning 'ghost' on May 23.

The state weather bureau, Pagasa, said the tropical country is now transitioning to the wet season.

The Philippines and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are at the start of their annual monsoon rainy season, which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rainstorms. The rudimentary infrastructure often struggles with the deluge, leading to widespread flash floods.
