MANILA, Philippines—Rains brought by Tropical Depression “Ferdie” have caused flooding in many parts of Metro Manila which led to traffic coming to a halt in many major road and highways.

Traffic was heavy along Edsa northbound from Taft Avenue up to Roxas Boulevard due gutter-deep waters, according to the Metro Manila Development Authority.

Floodwaters at the P. Tuazon intersection of Edsa heading southbound were also heavy up to Timog Avenue.
