Super Typhoon Fung-wong made landfall in the northern Philippines on Sunday, unleashing winds of 185 kilometers per hour and gusts up to 230 kph.
Authorities have confirmed at least two fatalities and evacuated around 1 million residents ahead of what could be one of the most powerful storms this year. In the Bicol region, power cuts were enforced in large areas to safeguard infrastructure as the cyclone approached.
Fung-wong has carved a path across Luzon's northern and central regions and is forecast to exit the island by Monday. Emergency teams remain on high alert, monitoring river levels and coastal zones for flooding and landslides.
From young global citizens to travelers, the storm is a reminder of nature's force and the importance of timely information. Keep following local advisories to stay safe as Fung-wong moves on.
