Rescuers in the northern Philippines used boats to pick up residents stranded by flooding Friday as Typhoon Co-May was downgraded to a tropical storm and the death toll from a week of monsoon rains edged higher.
Rescuers in the northern Philippines used boats to pick up residents stranded by flooding Friday as Typhoon Co-May was downgraded to a tropical storm and the death toll from a week of monsoon rains edged higher.
Schools remained closed and electricity was down in swathes of the archipelago nation's largest island as the national disaster agency reported 25 dead and eight missing since last Friday. But those numbers did not account for three construction workers buried in a landslide as they rested Thursday in Cavite province, south of the capital Manila, according to rescuers.
President Ferdinand Marcos on Thursday explicitly tied the recent flooding to climate change, saying his country had to accept this was the "new normal". The storm, which was weakening as it made its way north by northeast, was expected to be gone from the Philippines by Saturday morning.

SOLOK and Limapuluh Kota Regencies in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province have declared an emergency status for forest and land fires, following a surge in hotspots during the ongoing dry season, according to Ilham Wahab, an official from the West Sumatra Provincial Disaster Management Agency, on Tuesday.
SOLOK and Limapuluh Kota Regencies in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province have declared an emergency status for forest and land fires, following a surge in hotspots during the ongoing dry season, according to Ilham Wahab, an official from the West Sumatra Provincial Disaster Management Agency, on Tuesday.
“In Solok Regency alone, forest and land fires have occurred in all 14 districts,” said Ilham. He noted that water bombing operations using helicopters have not yet been deployed, as the National Disaster Management Agency is currently prioritizing firefighting efforts in Riau and South Sumatra provinces, where the situation is considered more critical.
Rahmadinol, head of the Limapuluh Kota Regency Disaster Management Agency, explained that challenging terrain and limited equipment have hindered firefighting efforts.
“Most of the fire locations in Limapuluh Kota have slopes of 70-90 degrees, which makes firefighting efforts very challenging,” Rahmadinol said.
According to the West Sumatra Forestry Service, at least 64 forest and land fire incidents have been recorded across nine regencies and cities from early 2025 to 19 July, affecting a total area of 140.87 hectares. — Xinhua
