The storm claimed lives across the region, including seven victims buried by a landslide in Nueva Vizcaya and a motorcyclist in Camarines Norte caught in a fallen power line. The island province of Catanduanes, which bore the brunt of Man-yi, reported extensive damage to homes and infrastructure, with power outages expected to last for months.
As the storm weakened into a severe tropical storm and moved toward Vietnam, over a million displaced Filipinos grappled with the aftermath of what has been an unprecedented month of violent weather. Climate experts have linked the increased storm intensity to climate change, with the Philippines enduring an unusual streak of extreme weather events.
At least 171 people have died in storms over the past month, leaving thousands homeless and devastating crops and livestock. Meteorological agencies also noted a rare phenomenon this November, with four simultaneous storms in the Pacific basin, a first in recorded history since 1951.
