Man-Yi, known locally as Pepito, first touched down on the country’s eastern Cantanduanes island at 21:40 local time (13:40 GMT) on Saturday, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 195 km/h (121mph), the state forecaster said.
More than a million people have been ordered to evacuate since warnings were first issued.

The super typhoon already ripped through Cantanduanes, where it uprooted trees, damaged some buildings and pulled down power lines.
