MANILA, Philippines – Thousands of Filipinos spent part of the weekend in evacuation centers as rain brought by the southwest monsoon or hanging habagat flooded Metro Manila and other parts of the country. 

In Marikina City, for instance, around 5,000 individuals evacuated on Saturday, August 11, as the Marikina River’s water level reached 3rd alarm. The water level there is going down as of Sunday morning, August 12. 

Evacuations also took place in parts of Quezon City and Rizal, among other areas.
