MANILA, Philippines—Typhoon Man-yi left at least seven people dead in a landslide, destroyed houses, and displaced large numbers of villagers before blowing away from the northern Philippines, worsening the crisis wreaked by multiple back-to-back storms, officials said Monday.

Man-yi was one of the strongest of the six major storms to hit the northern Philippines in less than a month and had sustained winds of up to 125 miles per hour when it slammed into the eastern island Province of Catanduanes on Saturday night.
