Super Typhoon Man-yi has wreaked havoc in the Philippines, with more than half a million people evacuated from their homes as the powerful storm made landfall along the eastern coast of Catanduanes. The typhoon, with winds reaching up to 160 mph (260 kph), is equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane, posing a significant threat to the region.
The Bicol region has been hit hard, with over 500,000 individuals forced to evacuate as a precautionary measure. This number is expected to rise as the storm progresses. In Northern Samar province, at least 26,000 people were evacuated, while an additional 18,000 individuals were preemptively moved from Eastern Samar and Samar provinces.
