This is the impressive moment a pickup truck braved raging floodwaters in the Philippines.

Dramatic footage shows a red Toyota Hilux powering through the deluge along the Pinatubo Trail in Capas, Tarlac.

A local was seen cheering the driver as he navigated the heavily flooded road beneath dark clouds following intense rainfall on July 5.

The Philippines and neighbouring Southeast Asian countries are entering their annual monsoon season, marked by soaring temperatures followed by intense rainstorms.

The region's low-lying geography, inadequate drainage systems, and rapid urbanisation make it especially vulnerable to flooding.

Limited infrastructure often struggles to handle the heavy rainfall, resulting in widespread flash floods.
