At least 160 people have been killed by flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rain in the northern Philippines. Most of the deaths were in Benguet province, where landslides were reported to have hit several towns. In Pangasinan province, about 30 towns were said to have been flooded and dams had to be opened to release the pressure of accumulated flood water. After the latest flooding, caused by rain from Typhoon Parma, the provincial governor of Benguet said 120 people were confirmed dead there. Twenty-five people were reported to have died in the city of Baguio when landslides buried houses. The country is dealing with the aftermath of two major storms, Typhoons Ketsana and Parma. Typhoon Ketsana left at least 337 people dead and hundreds of thousands stranded, while Typhoon Parma caused further damage just over a week later.
