In the northern Philippines, floodwaters from tropical storm Parma receded much today but the toll from heavy rain rose further as more bodies were recovered. Civil defence officials said a total of 265 people were confirmed dead in landslides and flooding caused by Parma in the past two days. <br/><br/>The toll brings the death from two weeks of killer storms to at least 602, with about 301,000 still crammed into makeshift evacuation centres since tropical storm Ketsana struck two weeks ago. <br/>
