Thousands evacuated as rain brings floods to Manila

Schools and government offices in Manila and the surrounding provinces were closed after a night of rain that saw the region's Marikina River burst its banks.

More than 23,000 people living along the river were evacuated overnight, sheltering in schools, village halls and covered courtyards.

About 44,000 more were evacuated in the metropolitan area’s Quezon, Pasig and Caloocan cities.
