The Philippines is bracing for another powerful storm as it recovers from Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left at least 188 dead and 130 missing. Officials are urging people to stay on high alert.

Kalmaegi swept through the country earlier this week, triggering floods and destroying houses. The resort island of Cebu was especially hard hit. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Thursday declared a "state of national calamity" to speed up relief efforts.

The typhoon then moved on to Vietnam, where authorities say five people were killed and more than 2,800 houses damaged in the central region. By Friday morning, the storm had weakened to a tropical depression.

Now another system -- Fung-wong -- is approaching the Philippines. Weather officials expect it to make landfall late Sunday or early Monday in the north -- potentially affecting Manila. They're warning of possible large-scale floods and landslides.
