Manila, July 17 (ANI): Residents of the Philippine capital Manila set to work clearing debris and reconnecting power on Thursday after a typhoon swept across the country killing 38 people, with at least eight missing. Typhoon Rammasun, the strongest storm to hit the Philippines this year, is heading towards China after cutting a path across the main island of Luzon, shutting down the capital and knocking down trees and power lines, causing widespread blackouts. Workers in Manila cleared out fallen trees blocking the roadside of a state-run university and cleaned the classrooms of a public school which had been used as temporary shelters during the typhoon_s onslaught.
