Floods, landslides and accidents driven by a nine-day downpour equivalent to more than a month's worth of rain in some areas have killed at least 13 people in the northern Philippines, rescuers said on Monday.
The rains, exacerbated by tropical storms, have led to school and government office closures across the main island of Luzon and flooding in the streets of the capital Manila.
Four of the deaths occurred in the mountain resort of Baguio, as a rain-drenched mountainside collapsed on several houses, killing four residents, city disaster official Charles Carame told the AFP news agency.
