At least 21 people have been killed so far and around a million people have fled their homes.
The rain and driving winds of 65 miles per hour are expected to cause problems for several more days. There are concerns torrential rain in the Philippines, caused by Typhoon Hagupit could now trigger landslides.
Last year, thousands died during Typhoon Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Yolanda.
This woman caught in the storm thinks its worse this time, though, she said: "Compared to what happened in Yolanda, since Yolanda did not flood our homes and we only felt strong winds."
Bekah Legg from Christian charity Compassion, which has been helping victims rebuild over the past 12 months told Premier's News Hour how Typhoon Hagupit has been affecting people in different ways compared to last year's disaster, she said: "People living in poverty don't have those kinds of materials to rebuild their own homes and their own places."
So, a lot of the children, certainly that we work with and a lot of the communities that we're based in have seen houses come down, but the schools and the big buildings that we've been part of helping rebuild; they're still standing."
