Manila: Super Typhoon Man-yi made landfall in the Philippines on Saturday, with the national weather forecaster warning of a "potentially catastrophic and life-threatening" impact, as waves up to 14 metres (46 feet) high pounded the coastline.
Man-yi was packing sustained wind speeds of 195 kilometres (121 miles) per hour when it slammed into Panganiban municipality on Catanduanes island at 9:40 pm (1340 GMT), the forecaster said.
