MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A typhoon blew into the northern Philippines on Friday, complicating the country’s disaster response to a deadly earthquake in a central province and two other recent storms.
Schools suspended classes, and cargo and fishing vessels were prohibited from entering the rough seas along the path of the typhoon.
It was expected to blow into the South China Sea on Saturday on a course toward southern China, Philippine forecasters said.
Matmo, locally known as Paolo, was the 16th tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines this year.
