The evacuation was carried out as rescue workers were still struggling to reach stranded people and those affected by Typhoon Usagi earlier.
The Philippine meteorological agency forecasts that Man-yi will make landfall in eastern coastal towns and the capital Manila this weekend. The storm is currently strengthening in the western Pacific and will possibly become a super typhoon on the early morning of November 17. This is the sixth typhoon to the Philippines in just a month.
Meanwhile, Usagi, known as Ofel in the Philippines, has begun to weaken significantly after making landfall in the north of the country on November 15.
Earlier, it had strengthened into a super typhoon, causing heavy rains and strong winds and damaging many houses. There have been no reports of casualties related to this storm, but thousands of people have been evacuated./.
