A tropical storm named Trami wreaked havoc in the northeastern Philippines, triggering widespread flooding and landslides that resulted in at least 24 fatalities. The storm made landfall in the country's northeastern province of Isabela, leading to the closure of schools and offices on the main island of Luzon to ensure the safety of millions of residents.

With sustained winds reaching up to 95 kph and gusts up to 160 kph, Trami caused significant damage in the Bicol region and Quezon province. The storm's impact was particularly severe in Naga city, where flash floods submerged the area, claiming the lives of seven residents.
