This is the moment residents were stunned by a hail storm lashing their homes in the Philippines.

Footage shows villagers taking cover as ice pellets battered Crossing Rubber town in South Cotabato.

Despite the downpour, the locals were fascinated by the weather phenomenon rarely seen in the tropical country.

Resident Gemma Hontiveros Orencio Malazo said: 'The storm was terribble, but I was amazed because it was my first time seeing ice fall along with the rain.'

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 rain storms. The rudimentary infrastructure often struggles with the deluge, leading to widespread flash floods.
