    "We are just 1% into our recovery and then here comes another typhoon. We're now feeling strong wind and rain," Joseph Cua, the governor of Catanduanes province, told DZMM radio. | A fisherman secures his wooden boat on a road in Santo Domingo, Albay province ahead of Typhoon Vamco making landfall in the region.

    The island province of Catanduanes and nearby Albay, both southeast of the capital Manila, bore the brunt of Typhoon Goni in late October, a category 5 typhoon that killed 25 people and left six people missing. | Trees are blown by strong winds ahead of the landfall of Typhoon Vamco in Buhi, Camarines Sur.

    Vamco is due to make landfall in Polilio Island on Wednesday evening and hit rice-producing provinces north of the capital before exiting the Philippines' main island of Luzon on Thursday, Chris Perez, a state weather forecaster, told DZMM. | Residents shelter in a classroom used as an evacuation centre in Camalig town, Albay.

    Residents in coastal communities, who are expecting up to a three-metre (nine foot) storm surge, were ordered to leave their homes, said Cristina Bosque, mayor of Polilio. But ensuring the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 in evacuation centres remained a challenge, she said. | Philippine army officers assist residents during a pre-emptive evacuation order, ahead of the landfall of Typhoon Vamco in Buhi, Camarines Sur.
