At least 100 people are thought to have been killed by flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rain in the northern Philippines, officials say.
Most of the deaths were in Benguet province, where landslides were reported to have hit several towns, the BBC reported.
In Pangasinan province, accumulated flood water had to be released from dams, hampering rescue efforts.
The country is dealing with the aftermath of two major storms, Typhoons Ketsana and Parma.
Typhoon Ketsana left at least 300 people dead and hundreds of thousands stranded, while Typhoon Parma caused further damage just over a week later.
After the latest flooding, caused by rain from Typhoon Parma, the provincial police chief in Benguet said 75 people were confirmed dead.
Other officials said as many as 100 people had been killed there.
Olive Luces, regional director of the Office of Civil Defence, said deaths had also occurred in Mountain province, where at least 28 people were reported missing.
Seventeen people were reported to have died in the city of Baguio when landslides buried houses.
