The jeering continued while Trump read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field enlistment ceremony […]...

MANILA, Philippines — A weakening Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) departed the Philippines over the South China Sea on Monday morning, after its driving winds and heavy rain killed at least two people and forced more than a million to evacuate. “Uwan,” with a footprint that spanned nearly the entirety of the archipelago, slammed into the country's eastern seaboard Sunday evening as a "super typhoon" after uprooting trees and swamping towns further south. It landed just days after Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi) swept through the islands of the central Philippines, claiming at least 224 lives. Schools and government offices across swathes of main island Luzon, including Manila, were closed Monday, though predicted heavy rains had yet to materialize. In Aurora province, where the typhoon made landfall the night before, rescue worker Geofry Parrocha said officials were only now able to assess the damage. "We're seeing many damaged houses and some of our main roads were not passable due to landslides," he told Agence France-Presse Monday morning from Dipaculao town, where power had yet to be restored. "We couldn't mobilize last night because the rain was heavy and the volume of water was high." Aurora Taay, mayor of the province's Dingalan town, told a Facebook Live audience that numerous houses and boats along the shoreline had been smashed amid massive waves. Turning towards Taiwan The state weather service said Monday that the typhoon, which saw 1.4 million people evacuated, was now expected to turn towards Taiwan as it continued to weaken. On Sunday, Samar province, one of those hammered by Typhoon Tino last week, recorded the first known death from “Uwan”. Rescuer Juniel Tagarino in Catbalogan City told AFP the body of a 64-year-old woman attempting to evacuate had been pulled out from under debris and fallen trees. "The wind was so strong and the rain was heavy... According to her family members, she might have forgotten something and went back inside her house," Tagarino said. The civil defense office later confirmed a second death, a person who drowned in a flash flood on Catanduanes island. Further north, in Cagayan province, people sheltering in an evacuation center told AFP that fear of flooding had convinced them to leave their homes. "We often suffer flooding in our home, so when we were told to evacuate, we evacuated, because we would be trapped," said Loretta Salquina. Scientists warn that storms are becoming more powerful due to human-driven climate change. Warmer oceans allow typhoons to strengthen rapidly, and a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, meaning heavier rainfall.
