A hero teenager gave his life to rescue more than 30 people - including mothers and children - from floods which have killed more than 140 people.

Rampaging floods in the Philippines have left nearly half a million people homeless, as tropical storm Ketsana brought the islands their heaviest rains in 40 years this weekend.

As the storm died down, families stood around the coffin of 18-year-old construction worker Muelmar Magallanes, who saved 30 people before he was swept away.

Time and again, Muelmar swam through the floods to pull people to safety, but on his last venture into the torrent to save a baby girl and her mother, the exhausted hero was swept away.

The mother and her baby, who were being carried away on the top of a styrofoam box, were hauled to the shore by friends after Muelmar had pushed them in close enough for the terrified pair to be saved.

As the floods swept him away, Muelmar was too weak to save himself and he disappeared beneath the surface. His body was found several miles away - along with 28 others who had perished in Manila's worst floods in decades.

'He gave his life for me and my baby and I'll never forget his sacrifice, said Menchie Penalosa, the six-month-old girl's mother.

'I'll be grateful to him for the rest of my life,' she added as she joined others gathered around Muelmar's coffin at a makeshift evacuation centre near their flooded riverside village on the outskirts of the capital, Manila.
