Fierce typhoon Nalgae pummeled the Philippines on Saturday, causing a miserable weekend in a country, where residents of main island Luzon's coastal areas are still reeling from strong typhoon Nesat, which struck the main island Luzon just five days earlier.

The floodwater in the coastal towns of Pampanga and Bulacan, both agricultural provinces, will last four to five more days, according to Hilton Hernando, the chief of the Pampanga River Basin Flood Forecasting and Warning Center. This means residents may have to stay either in inundated homes or crowded evacuation centers.

Over a million people were still affected by Typhoon Nesat, when Nalgae blew out strong winds in a six-hour restless rampage this weekend.

The Philippines has deployed helicopters, rescue boats and amphibious vehicles in a desperate bid to evacuate tens of thousands in the aftermath of successive monster storms, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Some residents still refuse to evacuate their homes despite the floodwater threats, saying they did not want to leave their homes.

"We cannot evacuate them all. There are so many of them. That is impossible," said James de Jesus, the mayor of Calumpit town in Bulacan.

Nalgae and Nesat were among the most powerful to have hit the Philippines this year, barely a week apart from each other.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council in Manila received only one death report from Nalgae, but said Nesat left at least 52 people dead.

Over 2.4 million people were affected by Nesat in total, with almost half a million of them still staying in evacuation centres.

As of 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nalage's center was at 370 kilometers west of Baguio City in Northern Philippines, with maximum sustained winds of 120 km per hour near the center and gusts of 150 kph, and moving towards Vietnam.
