THE second powerful typhoon to hit the Philippines in a week weakened as it crossed northern mountains yesterday, dumping heavy rain, causing landslides and cutting power and communications.
A woman was killed in Mountain Province as rain brought by Typhoon Nalgae saturated slopes and sent a landslide crashing down on the minibus she was in, said Benito Ramos, head of the national disaster agency.
The country has yet to recover from Typhoon Nesat, which hit on Tuesday, killing at least 52 people. Thirty-one people are still missing from Nesat.
