This is the dramatic moment residents waded through severe floods following heavy rain in the Philippines.

Footage captured by Cyril Piernas shows locals navigating through the deluge in Quezon City, Metro Manila, on Monday, July 21.

Cyril said: 'The Dario River in Quezon City overflowed due to continuous rain, causing flooding in residential areas today.'

The flooding came as Typhoon Wipha barreled through northern Philippines before heading to the South China Sea. The storm left three people dead and affected hundreds of thousands before moving on to Vietnam and neighbouring countries.

On July 19, a tourist boat was capsized by the freak weather in Vietnam, leaving dozens of passengers dead. The vessel reportedly overturned after being hit by choppy waves and heavy rain off the coast of Ha Long Bay shortly after 2 pm local time.

Wipha weakened into a tropical storm after making landfall in China on July 20.
