At least 54 people were killed as tropical storm Ketsana battered a wide area in the Philippines, dumping record rainfall on the capital, officials said Sunday. 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. EPA/DENNIS M. SABANGAN
