Storyline: Heavy rain and storm surges brought by Super Typhoon Fung-Wong, the 26th typhoon of 2025, have battered the northern Philippines, resulting in casualties and severe damage to property. The fierce, Category 5 typhoon made landfall over Aurora province in the eastern part of Luzon Island of the Philippines on Sunday night, hitting the municipality of Dinalungan around 21:10 local time (1310 GMT), according to the state weather bureau. The Philippine National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said on Monday that Typhoon Fung-wong had so far claimed two lives and affected over 1.4 million people nationwide. In the town of Dipaculao, which lies in a coastal area in the path of the typhoon, torrential rains triggered extensive flooding, submerging numerous roads and farms and washing away part of a national highway. Many homes were completely destroyed and countless trees were downed in the storm, with debris scattered across a wide area. "Our house was standing right there and was swept away when the storm and strong waves came, but we were still able to evacuate. We don't know how to restart our lives now, because it's so hard to lose our house, especially since we have no money to live on,” said Jenny Andres, a local resident. The typhoon knocked out power in 276 municipalities across the country and forced many schools and workplaces to close, according to authorities.
