COTABATO CITY: Rescue teams in Maguindanao are bracing for more floods from Tropical Storm “Vinta” (international name; Tembin) even after it left the Philippines early Sunday, authorities said.

Although no heavy rains have been recorded, a high level of water was recorded in the municipalities of Pagalungan and Datu Montawal because of the flow of water from the rivers of Bukidnon, North Cotabato and Lanao del Sur, officials said.
