For the second straight night, the southwest monsoon, or “habagat”, enhanced by Typhoon Fabian has dumped several inches of rain in Metro Manila, causing heavy flooding that stranded hundreds of commuters and motorists.
And it is not likely that the rains will stop even as “Fabian” is expected to exit the country.
Meanwhile, the alert level at Taal Volcano has been lowered that could pave the way for the return of evacuated residents to their respective homes.
