People walk down a flooded street in Dagupan City. Flood waters from Typhoon Parma have receded in much of the northern Philippines, but the toll rose to 299 confirmed dead in landslides and flooding, officials said. This brings the death toll from two weeks of killer storms to at least 636, with about 300,000 people still crammed into makeshift evacuation centers since Tropical Storm Ketsana struck two weeks earlier, a civil defense office said.
