Tropical Storm Co-May Causes Disruptions 
in the Philippines
   
Tropical Storm Co-May (locally known as Emong) made landfall near Agno in Pangasinan Province, Philippines on July 24th and again near Candon City in Ilocos Sur on July 25th. As of July 25th, the storm remains centered over the Luzon Strait and is moving northeastward. Co-May has amplified the ongoing southwest monsoon, delivering heavy downpours across Luzon. The system has caused severe flooding and landslides, damaged infrastructure, and affected roughly 3.8 million people. Government agencies report that approximately 278,000 people have been evacuated to emergency shelters or relocated to safer areas. Almost 3,000 homes have been damaged and numerous roads and bridges have been rendered impassable. 

Travel services remain significantly disrupted, including the cancellation of dozens of domestic and international flights and suspension of sea operations in northern Luzon and surrounding regions. The government has declared states of calamity in over 80 municipalities. Authorities expect additional rain through July 28th and continue relief operations amid ongoing power outages and flood-related health risks.
