Nearly 150 army trucks loaded with food, water and relief goods rolled out to areas in the northern Philippines already devastated by floods and landslides as another typhoon bore down on the country. Typhoon Mirinae, a category 2 typhoon with maximum centre winds of 150 kph (93 mph) and gusts of up to 185 kph, was expected to make landfall late on Friday. REUTERS/Palace Handout
