In the Philippines, the death toll from Tropical Storm Nalgae continues to rise.
72 people were killed and 14 are still missing, said the spokesman for the civil protection agency, Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro, on Saturday on the Philippine radio station DZMM.
The cyclone has caused landslides and flooding in southern areas.
Most of the victims are in the province of Maguindanao, which was hit by landslides, where 67 people died alone.
"We are now gathering all the rescue teams," Nasrullah Imam, head of Maguindanao's disaster management agency, said on Saturday.
"It's no longer raining, which will make our search and deployment easier."
The tropical storm hit the eastern island of Catanduanes early on Saturday with wind speeds of 95 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 160 kilometers per hour.
It will bring heavy and sometimes torrential rains over the capital region and surrounding provinces later in the day as it crosses the main island of Luzon and heads towards the South China Sea, according to the state weather bureau in its latest forecast.
The heavy rain started late Thursday evening.
The water masses uprooted trees, flooded fields and penetrated the city of Cotabato, among other places.
Rescue workers in rubber boats rescued numerous residents from the roofs of their houses.
The army dispatched trucks to rescue civilians in the affected areas.
Friday saw more rainstorms and flooding.
The Philippines is hit by an average of around 20 typhoons and storms each year.
In the south of the archipelago, however, they are rare.
Scientists assume that the storms will become more frequent and stronger due to climate change.
