MANILA, July 16 (Xinhua) -- At least 5 people were killed following the onslaught of typhoon Rammasun (local name: Glenda) which paralyzed the Philippine capital of Metro Manila on Wednesday.

The National Risk Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) was quoted by local TV station ANC as saying that the dead included two people who were electrocuted in the eastern Philippine province of Camarines Sur.

Typhoon Rammasun packed maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour (kph), with gustiness of up to 170 kph, according to the state weather bureau.

Strong winds damaged houses and caused storm surges in coastal areas. Power was cut off as electric posts were felled by strong winds. Many affected areas are without electricity, making it difficult for government officials to assess the extent of the damage caused by the typhoon.

More than 130,000 families from eastern and northern Philippines were forced to leave their homes to avoid the wrath of Rammasun which made landfall on Albay province last night.

In a report, the NDRRMC said 11 roads and one bridge in affected areas were damaged and were rendered impassable.

A total of 46 domestic flights and 19 international flights were canceled as of 6 a.m., Wednesday due to bad weather.

Philippine President Benigno Aquino III was forced to cancel his attendance in the opening ceremony of the Asian Defense Security and Crisis Management Exhibition in Pasay City to monitor the situation in affected areas.

Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the Philippine government would focus on ensuring the welfare of evacuees and restoring power and communication in typhoon-affected areas.
