Man-yi was one of the strongest of the six major storms to hit the northern Philippines in less than a month and had sustained winds of up to 195 kilometers (125 miles) per hour when it slammed into the eastern island province of Catanduanes on Saturday night.

In the Philippines, a landslide caused by Super Typhoon Man-yi killed at least seven people and destroyed dozens of houses in Nueva Vizcaya province as the northern Philippines suffered its sixth major storm in under a month.

As Super Typhoon Man-yi bore down on the Philippines in November 2024, dramatic footage was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed violent winds whipped up by the powerful storm.
