MANILA -- Commuters plodded through the capital's flooded streets on makeshift boats, including scrap refrigerators, as monsoon rains inundated large parts of Luzon on Tuesday.

Shirtless men pushed the refrigerator boats on chest-deep floods in Araneta Avenue, one of many scenes in Metro Manila as residents braced for more rains.

In Quezon City's Talayan Village, a man braved head-high floods on board riding an old bath tub.

Lampas-tao na ang baha sa Talayan Village, Quezon City kaya ang ilang residente ay gumamit na lang ng improvised na bangka gaya nitong lumang bath tub.

Authorities in Barangay Potrero, Malabon also offered to take residents across flooded streets on board small boats.

Tropical Storm Henry, which left the Philippine area of responsibility on Tuesday noon, enhanced the monsoon, the state weather bureau said, adding that it was monitoring a new storm brewing off the country's eastern coast.
