Super typhoon Man-Yi swept across the Philippines' main island of Luzon on Sunday, threatening heavy rain in the capital region Metro Manila, after triggering more than a million evacuations and damaging buildings in several areas.

Typhoon Man-yi regained strength on Sunday afternoon, bringing heavy rain and powerful winds to the Philippines, hours after making landfall in a nation still recovering from a series of recent storms that killed more than 160 people and caused widespread damage.

Typhoon Man-yi has left at least seven people dead in a landslide, destroyed houses and displaced large numbers of villagers before blowing away from the northern Philippines, worsening the crisis wreaked by multiple back-to-back storms.
