The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) confirmed there has been no major flooding across Metro Manila despite the heavy rains brought by Typhoon Uwan.
In a statement released Monday, the MMDA said, “No major flood incident in the National Capital Region (NCR) was reported in the Emergency Operation Center.” The agency added that monitoring operations continue across flood-prone areas as rainfall persists throughout the region.
The clarification followed the circulation of videos on social media showing flooded streets in parts of Metro Manila. According to the MMDA, those clips are old footage being recirculated online. The agency reminded the public that “sharing wrong information could cause confusion and panic among the public.”
As of 10:00 a.m. on November 10, 2025, Typhoon Uwan was moving northwest and had weakened but remained a significant threat across Luzon and nearby regions. Metro Manila and most of Luzon continued to experience heavy rainfall, strong winds, and the risk of storm surges reaching up to three meters in some coastal areas over the next 12 hours.
Uwan was last tracked off the coast of La Union, moving northwest at 30 kilometers per hour. Maximum sustained winds were around 165 kilometers per hour near the center, with gusts of up to 275 kilometers per hour early Monday morning, though these have started to weaken as the storm moves toward the West Philippine Sea.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 remained raised in 15 areas across Northern and Central Luzon, where destructive winds and dangerous storm surges were expected. The highest risk of flooding and coastal inundation remained in low-lying areas, while Metro Manila continued to face intense rainfall and strong winds.
The typhoon was forecast to maintain its intensity as it moved across the West Philippine Sea and begin to weaken gradually as it approached Taiwan by Wednesday, according to state meteorologists.
