Sadly, some people have died or are missing.
The storms also damaged farms and buildings, costing a lot of money.
Another storm is coming, and it could get even stronger.
The country usually gets hit by many storms every year.
Heavy rains and flooding in the Philippines have led to displacement and damage.
