Typhoon Kalmaegi battered the central Philippines on Monday, leaving at least two people dead and displacing tens of thousands.
The storm, with winds reaching 140 km/h and gusts up to 195 km/h, caused flash floods, power outages, and damage to hundreds of homes across several provinces.
Authorities reported widespread flooding in Southern Leyte and Bacolod. Kalmaegi, the country’s 20th storm this year, is expected to move toward the South China Sea by Wednesday.
