Several provinces and parts of Metro Manila were swamped with floodwater due to the continuous rains brought by Typhoon Egay.
In Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), popular tourist attractions like Burnham Park in downtown Baguio and the strawberry farm in La Trinidad, Benguet province are presently submerged in flood water.
Several rocks have also fallen and blocked some roads in Benguet.
Benguet Rep. Eric Go Yap has called on the national government for rapid assistance for the province.
"Many of our significant passageways in the province remain impassable as of the moment, obstructing emergency response and impeding the livelihood of hundreds of families in our province," he said.
Yap asked the national government to send off personnel who will conduct disaster rescue and relief operations for Typhoon Egay-affected families.

The Municipality of Bontoc with the help of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has distributed food and non-food items for all evacuees.
In Cagayan province, the flood has reached the house roofs of residents in the Municipality of Abulug due to the continuous increase of water in the area.
