Watch: Manila river surface covered in tide of rubbish

Workers waded through a rubbish-filled river in Manila, collecting waste that washed in during days of heavy rain.

The nine-day downpour, exacerbated by tropical storms, was equivalent to more than a month’s worth of rain in some areas. It resulted in school and government office closures across the main island of Luzon and flooding in the capital.

Floods, landslides and accidents driven by the rains killed at least 16 people in the northern Philippines, rescuers said on Monday
