Search-and-rescue teams in the southern Philippines province of Maguindanao said Friday that flash floods and landslides spawned by Tropical Storm Nalgae had left at least 42 people dead, with the toll expected to rise.
Regional minister Naguib Sinarimbo said most of the victims were in three towns in the hard-hit province. He said preparations had been made but the rains were more intense than expected.
