The Philippine capital and 9 nearby provinces are at a standstill as torrential rain, and rising river water and dam levels flooded parts of Metro Manila and beyond. Classes were called off for the 2nd day on August 7 and private and public offices as well as courts were closed amid transportation woes. Around one million are affected in 11 regions, and around 20,000 were displaced. The southwest monsoon will continue to bring occasional to frequent rains over Luzon, Pagasa said in its weather advisory.
