Philippine flood:Death toll mounts to 51
Manila: The death toll from over a week of floods in the Philippines rose to 51 as rain continued to pour, causing dams to overflow and forcing more people to flee their homes, officials said on Monday.
The number of deaths, previously at 45, rose as more bodies of missing people turned up, with one man drowning early on Monday, said civil defence chief Benito Ramos.

Sixteen people have died in severe floods in the Philippine capital, Manila – nine of them in a landslide which buried their home.
Most of the city is flooded, and almost 80,000 people have taken refuge in emergency shelters.
More than half the amount of rain normally seen in August has fallen in Manila within a 24-hour period.
