    According to authorities, at least 28 people have died in landslides and flooding in the central and southern Philippines following heavy rain and disruption in travel ahead of Easter. Tropical storm Megi pounded the disaster-prone region on Sunday as more than 13,000 people sought shelter in emergency shelters, the National Disaster Agency said. The storm submerged houses, flooded fields, cut off roads, and knocked out electricity.
