San Juan, Philippines – Typhoon Hagupit weakened into a tropical storm Monday after leaving at least 21 people dead and forcing more than a million people into shelters. But it spared most of a central Philippine region still reeling from last year's monster Typhoon Haiyan that left thousands dead.
The sun peeked out over the central island provinces Monday, but Manila and nearby provinces braced for high winds as Hagupit made landfall on the resort town of San Juan in Batangas province, about 60 miles south of the Philippine capital. It had maximum sustained winds of 53 miles per hour and gusts of 62 mph.
