At Least 13 Dead as Floods and Landslides Hit Northern Philippines After Nine Days of Heavy Rain

At least 13 people have died in the northern Philippines following nine days of heavy rain that triggered floods, landslides and weather-related accidents, rescuers said Monday.

The prolonged rainfall has inundated communities, disrupted roads and increased the risk of landslides across affected areas, forcing emergency teams to respond to multiple incidents.

Rescue and recovery operations are continuing as authorities assess damage caused by the severe weather. Officials are also monitoring areas vulnerable to further flooding and landslides as wet conditions persist.

Residents in high-risk locations have been urged to remain alert and follow instructions from local authorities, particularly in areas prone to flash flooding and landslides.
