Philippines rains: Floods, landslides claim the lives of at least 20 in southern region | Oneindia
Southern Philippines witnessed another major natural disaster, where at least 20 people have lost their lives due to days of torrential rains, causing widespread devastation in several provinces.
Provincial disaster agencies have reported a grim toll, with 13 casualties in Davao de Oro province, two individuals still missing, and seven fatalities in the neighbouring Davao del Norte.
The relentless rains, driven by a combination of a northeast monsoon and a low-pressure area, pounded the southern Mindanao region from January 28 to February 2, triggering deadly floods and landslides.

The heads of state from Japan, the Philippines, and the United States have jointly expressed "grave concern" regarding China's conduct in the contested South China Sea. Over recent years, Beijing has intensified its presence in this crucial maritime region, leading to heightened tensions, notably with the Philippines. This nation, among others in Southeast Asia, asserts territorial claims over portions of the sea adjacent to its shores. In response to a recent altercation near Second Thomas Shoal that resulted in injuries to Filipino soldiers and damage to vessels, President Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines declared Manila's intention to enact countermeasures against China. The leaders of Japan, the Philippines, and the United States expressed shared concerns over the People's Republic of China's (PRC) provocative actions in the South China Sea during the inaugural summit held in Washington, DC. This joint statement comes amid escalating tensions in the region.
