At least 13 people have lost their lives in the Philippines due to flooding and landslides caused by nine days of torrential rain, according to Le Journal de Montréal. The intense rainfall was intensified by tropical storms, worsening the situation in the region.

Authorities have responded by closing schools and public buildings on the main island of Luzon. In Manila, the capital, streets have been flooded, disrupting local activities, according to reports from Le Monde.
