At least two people have been killed and hundreds forced to flee their inundated homes in the Philippines.
Torrential rain had triggered flooding and landslides in the storm-battered archipelago, officials said on Saturday.
Huge waves smashed into a coastal village on Lapu-Lapu island in the central province of Cebu on Friday night.
The waves wiped out dozens of houses, leaving around 290 people homeless, Mayor Junard Chan said on Facebook.
Photos posted online by the mayor showed piles of wood and bamboo near the few houses still standing after the region was drenched by heavy rain.
Rescuers retrieved the bodies of two elderly women who were killed when a landslide hit an area of Mahaplag town before dawn in the nearby province of Leyte, police officer Racquel Hernandez said.
A boy was also pulled from the rubble of his home and treated for his injuries, Hernandez told the media.
13 Villages Engulfed
About 1,500 people were forced to leave their homes on the major southern island of Mindanao.
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council this was due to floodwaters having engulfed 13 villages.
The Philippines is hit by an average of 20 storms and typhoons every year.
These natural disasters typically wipe out harvests, homes and infrastructure in already impoverished areas of the country.
The latest storm comes after a succession of typhoons in recent months pummelled the Philippines.
The series of typhoons have taken the lives of 148 people, destroying hundreds of thousands of houses, wrecking cash crops and leaving swathes of the country without power. – AFP
