Storm sets off floods and landslides in Philippines, leaving at least 9 dead
A storm set off landslides and unleashed pounding rains that flooded many northern Philippine areas overnight into Monday, leaving at least nine people dead and prompting authorities to suspend classes and government work in the densely populated capital region.
Tropical Storm Yagi was blowing 115 kilometers (71 miles) northeast of Infanta town in Quezon province, southeast of Manila, by midday on Monday with sustained winds of up to 75 kilometers (47 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 90 kph (56 mph), according to the weather bureau.
The storm, locally called Enteng, was moving northwestward at 15 kph (9 mph) near the eastern coast of the main northern region of Luzon, where the weather bureau warned of possible flash floods and landslides in mountainous provinces.
A landslide hit two small shanties on a hillside in Antipolo city on Monday in Rizal province just to the west of the capital, killing at least three people, including a pregnant woman, disaster-mitigation officer Enrilito Bernardo Jr.
Four other villagers drowned in swollen creeks, he said.
National police spokesperson Col Jean Fajardo told reporters without elaborating that two other people died and 10 others were injured in landslides set off by the storm in the central Philippines.
Two residents died in stormy weather in Naga city in eastern Camarines Sur province, where floodwaters swamped several communities, police said. Authorities were verifying if the deaths, including one caused by electrocution, were weather-related.
Storm warnings were raised in a large swath of Luzon, the country’s most populous region, including in metropolitan Manila, where schools at all levels and most government work were suspended due to the storm.
Along the crowded banks of Marikina River in the eastern fringes of the capital, a siren was sounded in the morning to warn thousands of residents to brace for evacuation in case the river water continues to rise and overflows due to heavy rains.
In the provinces of Cavite, south of Manila, and Northern Samar, in the country’s central region, coast guard personnel used rubber boats and ropes to rescue and evacuate dozens of villagers who were engulfed in waist- to chest-high floods, the coast guard said.
Sea travel was temporarily halted in several ports affected by the storm, stranding more than 3,300 ferry passengers and cargo workers, and several domestic flights were suspended due to the stormy weather.
Downpours have also caused water to rise to near-spilling level in Ipo dam in Bulacan province, north of Manila, prompting authorities to schedule a release of a minimal amount of water later Monday that they say would not endanger villages downstream.
About 20 typhoons and storms batter the Philippines each year. The archipelago lies in the “Pacific Ring of Fire,” a region along most of the Pacific Ocean rim where many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur, making the Southeast Asian nation one of the world’s most disaster-prone.
In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest recorded tropical cyclones in the world, left more than 7,300 people dead or missing, flattened entire villages, swept ships inland and displaced more than 5 million people in the central Philippines.
San Diego police are searching for the person or persons who fatally shot a teen on the southbound Interstate 5 on-ramp adjacent to Chicano Park early Sunday morning.
Homicide detectives said an 18-year-old man was brought to Paradise Valley Hospital in National City about 2:10 a.m. by several men in a private car. The group flagged down a police officer and told the officer the teen in the car had been shot on the Logan Avenue ramp.
The victim was rushed into the hospital and CPR was started, but he could not be revived, Lt. Lou Maggi said in a statement.
At first, the investigation into the fatal shooting was conducted by the California Highway Patrol because it was thought to have occurred on the I-5 on-ramp. However, after CHP officers determined the shots likely came from Chicano Park, SDPD detectives assumed responsibility for the investigation, Maggi said.
Investigators found that earlier on Sunday, San Diego patrol officers had responded to three reports of gunfire near Chicano Park — one at 12:12 a.m., one at 1:08 a.m. and one at 2:06 a.m. Nothing was found by officers after the first and third reports but police found “multiple cartridge casings” and a vehicle that had been struck several times by gunfire while investigating the second report, Maggi said.
The name of the man who died has not been released, although he has been tentatively identified, Maggi said. No suspect information was released.
Maggi said the investigation was ongoing, with detectives looking for evidence at the crime scene and seeking witnesses. They also are checking if any surveillance video in the area was taken that captured any of the shootings. Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call the Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
