MANILA, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Six people were killed by tropical storm "Peipah" which left northern Philippines on Monday after bringing wind and rains in the night and early morning, said local radio dzMM.
The radio said five people were killed in the storm hit province of Isabela in northern Luzon, while another died in the neighboring Kalinga province. The storm also brought about flooding to about 500 families in a village in northern town of Ilagan, while some dams are on the verge of overflow, said local officials.
Isabela Govornor Grace Padace has called for help from the military to monitor flooded areas and reach families affected by flooding and storm in remote areas.
"Peipah" moved out of northern Luzon and is moving toward the South China Sea, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
