More than 900,000 people evacuated vulnerable areas of the Philippines as Super Typhoon Uwan (international name Fung-wong) began lashing the main island of Luzon on Sunday (November 9), with work and classes suspended across several regions, including Metro Manila.
Uwan is forecast to make landfall in Aurora province as early as Sunday night, even as the Southeast Asian archipelago recovers from Typhoon Tino (international name Kalmaegi), which killed 224 people in the Philippines and five in Vietnam, where it devastated coastal communities.
With sustained winds of 185 kph (115 mph) and gusts of up to 230 kph (140 mph), Uwan was already battering many parts of Luzon with massive rain bands, the authorities said.
The highest alert level, Signal No. 5, was raised over southeastern and central areas, including Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, and Aurora province, while Metro Manila and nearby provinces were under Signal No. 3.
