The Philippines is bracing for Typhoon Fung-wong, expected to strike Luzon on Sunday. The storm, locally known as Uwan, may intensify into a super typhoon with winds over 185 km/h. It comes just days after Typhoon Kalmaegi killed more than 200 people and caused severe flooding and landslides. Authorities have declared a state of calamity, ordered mass evacuations, and cancelled flights and classes. Rescue work from Kalmaegi has been paused as heavy rain and winds hit eastern regions. Officials warn of life-threatening floods and storm surges, urging residents in coastal and low-lying areas to move to safer ground. (PC: BBC)
