Torrential rains brought the Philippine capital to a standstill last Monday, submerging areas in waist-deep floodwaters and making streets impassable to vehicles, while thousands of people in northern regions fled to emergency shelters. Officials reported more than a million people were affected by the flooding in at least five provinces aside from the Philippine capital.
