A Filipino boy is seen on makeshift raft amid floodwaters in Binan, Laguna province, southern Manila, Philippines on 28 October 2009, a month after back-to-back cyclones hit Manila. After Typhoon Lupit spared the Philippines over the weekend, another weather disturbance is threatening to hit the country. Weather bureau head Prisco Nilo said the cyclone is to be code-named 'Santi' once it enters Philippine territory. Nearly 1,000 people were killed and more than 8 million people affected by floods and landslides caused by Tropical Storm Ketsana and Typhoon Parma, which struck Philippines one week apart in September and October. The back-to-back cyclones also caused more than 652 million dollars of damage to agriculture and infrastructure. EPA/ALANAH TORRALBA
