Officials said Lando has killed a 14-year-old boy and forced 23,000 others to flee their homes.

It has also prompted local governments to implement measures such as Manila’s “no-walk zone” along Manila Bay. 

Metro Manila residents have been advised to stay indoors as as much as possible. – Rappler.com
