Roads become rivers in the financial district of Makati, south of Manila.
Flooding caused by some of the Philippines’ heaviest rain on record has submerged more than half of the capital, Manila, turning roads into rivers and trapping tens of thousands of people in homes and shelters.
At least seven people have died, including four who drowned north of Manila on Monday.
The dead included a five-year-old boy whose house was hit by a concrete wall that collapsed, and a three-year-old boy who fell into a swollen river in Mariveles town in Bataan province. Four people are missing.
Throughout the sprawling, low-lying capital region of 12 million people, offices, banks and schools were closed and most roads were impassable.
