CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Sergiom says Typhoon Gener brought heavy rain and strong winds to many parts of Luzon, Philippines, it also impacted the metro Manila as well. Although the typhoon did not directly hit Manila, the wind and rain from the storm knocked down trees and left minor structural damage to parts of metro Manila. He says some factories and offices closed on July 30 due to the anticipation of flooding. Classes were also suspended in the area as well as monsoon-like winds blew through the area. He says that there were many parts of metro Manila that were flooded early in the morning and afternoon, but the water is slowly receding. 'I'm just praying that the flooded areas in central Luzon will get help from the government and non-government organizations,' he says.
