Satellite Views of Disastrous Flooding in The Philippines

Handout photo dated on November 12, 2025 shows Following the landfall of Typhoon Fung-wong on 9 November 2025, northern regions of the Philippines were affected by extensive flooding, with the Cagayan Valley among the worst hit areas. The typhoon brought intense rainfall, causing the Cagayan River to overflow its banks, submerging agricultural land, infrastructure, and urban areas, including the city of Tuguegarao. Several communities in the province of Cagayan were displaced, and damage to crops and transport infrastructure was reported across the region. This false colour image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 12 November 2025, shows the flooded areas along the Cagayan River. In this composite, vegetation appears in red, while water bodies and flooded areas are shown in shades of light blue and green. Additionally, sediment plumes can be seen at the river’s mouth near Aparri, where the river enters the Pacific Ocean. Photo by European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery via ABACA

On the prairie of over 4,700 meters above sea level in Biru County, herdsmen are busy hunting down caterpillar fungus at the harvest time. Biru County is a key site of yielding caterpillar fungus, an expensive ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. Found only at high altitudes, the fungus, known in China as "winter-worm summer-grass," is said to be effective in boosting the immune system. The caterpillar fungus harvest time lasts 45 days. For local herdsmen, collecting this precious fungus offers them seasonal jobs and increases their income. Trekking on the alpine ground, searching for the tiny caterpillar fungus as small as an apple stalk, fungus diggers must brave harsh weather conditions from sunrise till sunset. Fungus diggers use an ice pick to prod the earth and dig a hole about 10 centimeters deep. After plucking the fung
