Philippines was battered by slow-moving Typhoon Koppu on Monday as army, police and volunteers scrambled to rescue hundreds of villagers trapped in their flooded homes and on rooftops in northern Philippine.
The typhoon blew ashore into northeastern Aurora province with fierce wind and heavy rains early Sunday, leaving at least two dead, forcing more than 16,000 villagers from their homes, and leaving nine provinces without electricity, as reported by news agencies.
