POLA, Philippines: Searches were under way on Monday for 12 fishermen in the Philippines as a typhoon swept across the archipelago, flooding low-lying areas and forcing thousands of people into emergency shelters.

Packing maximum sustained winds of 130 kilometres (80 miles) per hour, Typhoon Molave made landfall on Sunday on the southern end of the main island of Luzon before moving west across the country.
