Residents in the Philippine capital wade through flood water.
A tropical storm bought heavy rain to Manila, forcing residents in riverside communities to move to higher ground.
In Manila Bay around 400 houses were damaged when two barges dislodged from their anchors.
Strong winds and waves sent the boats crashing into a nearby poor district, destroying homes made of light materials.
Residents were left salvaging the wreckage for belongings.
Families living along the Marikina River sought refuge from the floods in a basketball court.
Nationwide, more than 2,000 people have headed to evacuation centres.
The storm has shut schools and cancelled domestic flights.
More heavy rain is expected as tropical storm Saola moves north.
