VARIOUS OF PEOPLE AND VEHICLES MOVING THROUGH FLOOD WATERS METRO MANILA, PHILIPPINES - NOV. 9, 2025: At least two people were killed on Sunday, Nov. 9, as Super Typhoon Fung-Wong, locally known as Uwan, swept across the Philippines, triggering severe flooding and widespread power outages in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

Authorities said more than 900,000 residents from high-risk coastal and low-lying areas were evacuated to temporary shelters, as waist-deep floodwaters inundated major roads amid citywide blackouts.

Strong winds toppled trees, damaged homes and disrupted transportation networks, while communication lines were partially affected.

The national police have mobilized nearly 10,000 personnel and resources as Super Typhoon Fung-wong impacted the country.

The disaster comes just as the death toll from Typhoon Kalmaegi in the Philippines climbed to 224 on Sunday, with 109 others still missing, according to state-run media.

A total of 526 people were injured due to the devastation caused by Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, the Philippines News Agency reported, citing National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) officials.

Cebu, the hardest-hit province in the Central Visayas region, has reported 158 fatalities. The death toll includes 27 in Negros Occidental, 20 in Negros Oriental, eight in Caraga, three in Capiz, two in Southern Leyte, two in Leyte, and one each in Antique, Bohol, Guimaras, and Iloilo.

The typhoon has impacted 946,660 families, or around 3.3 million people, across the country. According to the NDRRMC, 74,781 homes have been damaged across seven regions, and authorities are still assessing the full extent of Typhoon Tino’s devastation.

Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared a state of national calamity last week.
