Thousands were also still displaced in the rain-soaked nation after Super Typhoon Ragasa passed over the country’s far northern end and killed at least nine people.

The weather bureau said the outer bands of Bualoi might also bring rains to the northern Philippines.

“These rains are continuous and may cause renewed flooding, and landslides, especially in areas that are already saturated,” Civil Defence Administrator Harold Cabreros said late on Wednesday.

Seven fishermen died during Ragasa when their boat was flipped over by huge waves in the far northern Cagayan Province, while one person was killed by a toppled tree.

A typhoon-triggered landslide also killed a 74-year-old man and injured at least seven people in Benguet, a mountainous province north of Manila.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos pledged late on Wednesday that food, medicine and other aid were in position in areas where Bualoi is expected to pass.

The storms come as public anger seethes over a scandal involving bogus flood-control projects believed to have cost taxpayers billions of dollars.
