In June 2012, northern and central Luzon, including Metro Manila, faced severe flooding caused by the Southwest Monsoon, which was enhanced by multiple tropical cyclones. The disaster impacted more than 900,000 families, approximately 4.4 million people in total, resulting in 78 deaths, 11 missing persons, and 36 injuries. Extensive damage was recorded in agriculture and infrastructure, with over 1 million people displaced. As of August 31, 2012, many remained in evacuation centers, while local authorities anticipated prolonged displacement due to historically slow subsiding floodwaters.
