The victims, Bing Jamilon Ocuman and her son Datu Puti, were in one of five adjoining houses in Barangay Pamalian, a secluded area in Pikit when the tornado struck.

Authorities said a coconut tree uprooted by the tornado fell on the victims’ house, killing Ocuman and her son instantly and injuring her daughter Doreen, 8.
