Philippine city of Davao recently. The Philippines is notorious for flash flood
disasters as several typhoons naturally pass by the country from the Pacific Oce

As of the evening of Wednesday 29 May, 2011, the death toll reached 25 while 15
others remained missing. Meanwhile, hundreds of families were displaced by the w
orst flooding that hit Davao in history.
The local weather bureau has blamed an intertropical convergence zone for the he
