388 people are believed to have died and hundreds more are feared dead after they were swept away as rivers of mud and volcanic ash swamped villages in eastern Philippines.
The mudslides triggered by super typhoon Durian's torrential rains reached as high as rooftops as they poured down from Mount Mayon volcano, around 350km southeast of Manila.
Rescue teams were hampered by blocked roads and swollen rivers as they tried to reach many of the villages around the still-active volcano.
Typhoon Durian is expected to weaken to a tropical storm as it heads towards the Vietnamese coast over the coming days.
