MANILA, Philippines — At least 114 people have died in Typhoon Tino’s wake, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported on Thursday, November 6.
Most of the death toll is concentrated in Cebu, with at least 71 people reported dead. Negors Occidental had the second-highest death toll at 18 people.
At least 12 others were killed in Negoros Oriental while six died in Agusan del Sur. At least two other people died in Southern Leyte.
Meanwhile, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo, Bohol and Leyte, had one death each.
The NDRRMC said that at least 65 other people are missing in Cebu and 62 are also still missing in Negors Occidental.
Cebu also recorded the highest number of wounded persons, with 69 people sustaining injuries. At least 82 people have been recorded as injured overall.
In an earlier report, the NDRRMC said that around 1.95 million people have been affected by Tino.
More than half a million people have been displaced across evacuation centers.
While Tino has left the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), another cyclone is set to hit the Philippines.
Tropical Storm Fung-Wong, which will be named Uwan once it enters the PAR, is expected to reach typhoon category by Friday.
Meteorologists predict that Fung-Wong could even become a super typhoon by Saturday.
The new cyclone is expected to hit northern and central Luzon, warning that Signal No. 5 is possible.
