MANILA, Nov 18 (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed as super typhoon Man-Yi hit the Philippine archipelago over the weekend, unleashing fierce winds and strong rains that triggered landslides and storm surges, authorities said.

Super Typhoon Man-yi battered parts of the Philippines with powerful winds and intense rains, and may bring more damage in its expected path over the main island on Sunday.

A super typhoon ripped through Philippines’ largest island on Sunday, knocking down houses and sending more than half a million people to emergency shelters, as rare back-to-back storms cause havoc across an exhausted nation.
