Philippines Braces for Super Typhoon Pepito with Mass Evacuations

The Philippines is preparing for Super Typhoon Man-yi, which is expected to make landfall soon with winds up to 230 km/h. This marks the sixth major storm to hit the country in a month, prompting mass evacuations of around 255,000 people. The rare occurrence of multiple storms in the region is attributed to climate change, with the potential for severe impacts including life-threatening storm surges and volcanic lahars. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has urged preparations as the nation deals with the aftermath of previous storms that have already claimed 163 lives.
