The Philippines is still recovering from Super Typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the country in 2013.

On Friday, President Benigno Aquino gave a warning on TV, the first time he had done so since Haiyan.

He asked the estimated six million people in the typhoon's path to listen to government warnings and be ready to leave their homes if they needed to.

But the country now has better public warning systems, so it's easier to keep people safe.

Typhoon Koppu is up to 650 km (404 miles) across and is not due to leave the Philippines until Tuesday, when it will be heading towards Taiwan.
