The Philippines, mainly northern Luzon, was severely affected by Typhoon Mangkhut during September 2018. Known in the Philippines by the local name Ompong assigned by the PAGASA—the national meteorological service for the country,[1] Mangkhut was the second-deadliest tropical cyclone to affect the Philippines in 2018, the strongest typhoon to affect the country since Typhoon Haiyan, and the costliest for the country in that year's Pacific typhoon season,[2]: 24, 30, 125 [3] causing ₱33.9 billion (US$627 million) in damage. Mangkhut officially caused 82 fatalities; however, other sources have reported higher death tolls.
