A tropical storm lashed the northern and central Philippines over the weekend, killing seven people after forcing more than 22,000 people to evacuate from flood- and landslip-prone villages.
“Tropical Storm Fengshen blew away from the main northern Philippine region of Luzon into the South China Sea late on Sunday (October 19, 2025). It currently has sustained winds of up to 65 km per hour and gusts of up to 80 km per hour,” government forecast agency said.

“The government's disaster-mitigation agency said seven deaths were reported. Nearly 14,000 people who evacuated remained displaced from their homes by Monday (October 20, 2025),” the agency said.
“One person drowned on Saturday (October 18, 2025) in Roxas City in the central province of Capiz, where high tide worsened flooding in many villages,” officials said.
