Filipinos wait for relatives stranded from floods in Cainta, east of Manila, Philippines on 27 September 2009. At least 80 people were killed as tropical storm Ketsana battered a wide area in the Philippines, dumping record rainfall on the capital that caused the worst flooding in 40 years, officials said on 27 September. Twenty-one people were missing in floods and landslides caused by Ketsana, according to Defence Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, who also heads the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC). Authorities rushed rescue and relief to thousands of people who spent the night on the roofs of their submerged houses in Manila and surrounding provinces.The government weather bureau said the rainfall recorded in Manila was the city capital\'s \'greatest\' amount of rain since 1967.
