Super typhoon Man-Yi swept across the Philippines' main island of Luzon on Sunday, threatening heavy rain in the capital region Metro Manila, after triggering more than a million evacuations and damaging buildings in several areas.

Typhoon Man-yi made landfall in the Philippines on Saturday, bringing destructive winds and torrential rain to a nation still recovering from a series of powerful storms that have killed more than 160 people and caused widespread damage.

Super Typhoon Man-yi uprooted trees, brought down power lines and ripped off corrugated iron roofing as it swept across the storm-weary Philippines on Sunday, following an unusual streak of violent weather.
