A super typhoon, named Man-yi locally as Pepito, is currently posing a significant threat to the Philippines. The typhoon made its initial landfall on the coast of Catanduanes province and is now heading towards the main island of Luzon. It is expected to make a second landfall on Sunday afternoon, according to the country's meteorological agency PAGASA.
Man-yi is the fourth typhoon to hit the Philippines in less than two weeks, with a projected course that could impact a larger population compared to the previous storms. The typhoon is expected to weaken as it moves across Luzon, but it still presents a potentially dangerous and life-threatening situation, with maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h near the center and gusts of up to 230 km/h.
