A huge monster Typhoon is forwarned to hit the capital city of Philippine, and bring along very windy and heavy rainfall, as it is on its way across the archipelago on Monday, which has completely disturbed the holidays of Christmas.

The government weather station said, "Typhoon Nock-Ten, which made landfall on the eastern island province of Catanduanes on Sunday, is forecast to move westward towards the country's heartland, packing winds of 230 kilometres (143 miles) per hour,".

"More than 218,000 people have already fled their homes while 48 domestic and international flights were cancelled," the civil defence office said.

"Heavy to intense rains, flash-floods and severe winds," with rescue boats ready to be deployed in case the rivers overflow." it added.

"Our local disaster councils are on red alert. We have pre-positioned relief supplies and rescue and (road) clearing equipment in Metro Manila," said Mina Marasigan, spokeswoman of the disaster monitoring council.
