Calls for help fill social media as floods swamp Metro Manila

MANILA (UPDATE) -- Trapped in the second floor of their houses due to non-stop rains, Metro Manila residents called for rescue on social media late Saturday.

The highest rainfall warning was raised in the capital late Saturday evening and more rain was expected through Sunday as exiting Tropical Storm Karding stirred the monsoon over large swaths of Luzon.

@meralco, please read upthread. There's a report of a live wire in Malanday, Marikina. Kindly help. Thanks.
