The death toll in the Philippines from Typhoon Nesat has climbed to 18.

The government's rushing to restore power and telecommunications services ahead of another storm approaching to the east of the country.

Thirty-five people are still missing a day after Nesat unleashed heavy rains, winds and storm surges across the main island of Luzon, where 48 million people live.

But the state weather bureau is now warning that a tropical storm brewing in the Pacific Ocean and heading for Luzon will likely hit land within the week.
