Thousands of people in the Philippines have been left stranded on Christmas Day as Typhoon Phanfone made landfall.
Many in the predominantly Catholic nation were stuck in airports and bus terminals, trying to get home and celebrate with their families.
Authorities have evacuated coastal areas fearing floods and landslides.
The typhoon is expected to move across the central Philippines and into the South China Sea by Thursday.
