A typhoon killed at least 10 people, prompting the evacuation of almost more than 370,000 people and shutting financial markets, offices and schools across the Philippines, rescue officials said on Wednesday.


The eye of Typhoon Rammasun, the strongest storm to hit the country this year, passed to the south of Manila after cutting a path across the main island of Luzon.

The typhoon caused trees to topple as well as power lines, also causing electrocutions and widespread blackouts.
