Heavy rains brought on by the combined effects of the low pressure area and southwest monsoon (Habagat) on Thursday flooded roads in Metro Manila and forced the cancellation of several flights.

People posted about their experiences with bad weather on social media.

RepublicAsia’s Ryan Baldemor also took pictures of Manila’s flooded streets.

Meanwhile, the following flights were canceled due to ”unfavorable weather condition,” the Manila International Airport Authority said.
