The Philippines has declared a state of emergency as the nation braces for the potential impact of a super typhoon, following the devastation caused by Typhoon Kalmaegi. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced the emergency measures on Thursday, November 6, 2025, after Kalmaegi claimed at least 114 lives and left hundreds missing in central provinces. The majority of fatalities resulted from flash floods, with Cebu province being the hardest hit. The typhoon, which exited the archipelago into the South China Sea on Wednesday, displaced over 560,000 people, with nearly 450,000 seeking refuge in emergency shelters. Meanwhile, another storm, Fung-wong, currently classified as a tropical storm, is forecasted to intensify into a super typhoon by Saturday, November 9. This comes less than two months after Super Typhoon Ragasa wreaked havoc across the region. Authorities are on high alert, urging residents to prepare for the impending disaster.
