A major clean-up operation is under way in the Philippines after Typhoon Nari pounded the archipelago's north and left 13 dead.
Authorities issued a storm warning for the east of the country as the military, along with civilian relief workers, struggled to clear roads of toppled trees and power pylons wrecked by Saturday's storm.
"The general situation is getting better, but it would take some time to clear the roads of fallen trees and (electrical) posts," civil defence office spokesman Reynaldo Balido told AFP on Sunday.
He said power and telecommunication facilities had been restored in affected areas, although some cities and towns in five provinces on Luzon, the country's most populous island, were without electricity.
Typhoon Nari tore into the country's northeast coast early Saturday and cut a westward path through the farming regions of Luzon.

Thirteen people were killed as the storm ripped off roofs of homes and buildings, toppling trees and triggering flash floods and landslides before blowing away into the South China Sea.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said Sunday morning that some agricultural areas remained inundated, although the waters were subsiding.
"The sun is already out, and we should be able to normalise in a few days," Balido said.
Many of the more than 43,000 people displaced by the storm had also begun returning home as the government lifted all storm warnings there, he said.
However, the state weather bureau issued a warning for the country's east. It said Tropical Storm Wipha was 1460 kilometres (900 miles) away and could reach Philippine seas by Monday.
The bureau added that Wipha was expected to move northward and not directly hit the Philippines but Balido said authorities were not taking any chances.
"We will remain on alert, and continue to take precautions," he said.
The Philippines are hit by some 20 typhoons each year.
Last month, heavy monsoon rains worsened by Typhoon Usagi also pounded Luzon, unleashing deadly floods that killed 30.
