MANILA, Philippines — The residents of 2,500 villages were ordered to evacuate their homes as Severe Tropical Storm Nika (Toraji) approached the northern Philippines, the government said Sunday, after three massive cyclones battered the country in less than a month.
Nearly 700,000 people are still sheltering at evacuation centers or with relatives after their homes were destroyed by tropical cyclones Kristine, Leon and Marce.
