Monsoon rains flood Philippine villages, thousands evacuate

Manila, Jul 25 (AP): Thousands of residents fled flooded communities and swollen rivers in the Philippine capital and outlying provinces Saturday after days of torrential monsoon rains, which left at least one villager dead, officials said.
