Thousands rescued as Vamco hit on the heels of Typhoon Goni, one of the strongest storms in the world this year
Thick mud and debris have coated many villages around the Philippine capital after a typhoon caused extensive flooding that sent people fleeing to their roofs and killed at least 39 people.
Thousands of people have been rescued by Friday, though waters have mostly receded. The military was rescuing people in places where waters remained high.
