Parts of the Philippine capital remained under water after Typhoon Gaemi (locally known as Carina) intensified southwest monsoon rains.
The typhoon's powerful outer bands dumped more than 300mm of rain on the Manila area and parts of the main island of Luzon.
The Met Office has issued a red alert for rainfall, warning of severe flooding.
The authorities declared a state of emergency in the capital.
The city's 36 evacuation centers were ready for evacuation.
More than 600,000 people have fled their homes, 35,000 of whom are in evacuation centers.
The death toll from heavy rains has reached at least 14.
On social networks, residents share footage of the natural disaster.
Heavy rain flooded streets in Manila and nearby suburbs.
Floods up to one-story buildings high have been recorded.
A huge number of people are asking for help.
Some residents are waiting on rooftops for rescue.
Search and rescue operations are currently underway.
The typhoon closed schools and offices on the main island of Luzon.
Flights and ferries across the country have also been cancelled.
The water level in the Marikina River has reached alert level three.
Several barges, driven by strong currents, crashed into a bridge in Pasig City.
A terrible accident occurred off the coast of Manila, where an oil tanker carrying 1.4 million liters of fuel oil sank.
The southwest monsoon, strengthened by Typhoon Gaemi, continues to wreak misery and destruction in the Philippines.
This comes despite the typhoon's center moving north and hitting Taiwan.
