    Vamco, the 21st and most deadly cyclone to hit the country this year, tore through the main island of Luzon late on Wednesday and early Thursday, just as the country was reeling from Goni, the world's strongest typhoon of 2020, which killed 25 people and flattened thousands of homes.

    "All the houses here were submerged in mud and in water," said," Mike Rusio, 51, told Reuters as he scooped buckets full of mud from his two-storey home. Heavy equipment was also being brought in to clear furniture, trash and cars blocking roads. Image Credit: AP

    Data published by the police showed that 42 people had died, 43 were injured and 20 were still missing. Successive typhoons - eight in the past two months - add to the challenges on a government battling community coronavirus infections and an economic recession. Image Credit: Reuters

    After Vamco, up to three more typhoons are expected to lash the Philippines before the end of December, the state weather forecaster warned. The Philippines, an archipelago of more than 7,600 islands, experiences around 20 tropical storms annually. Image Credit: AP
