The reported death toll from Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) rose to 114 with Cebu province bearing the brunt of its effects as it tallied the most number of fatalities, missing and injured individuals, Office of Civil Defense (OCD) deputy spokesperson Diego Mariano said.
Mariano said the latest tally, as of Thursday morning, also included 127 missing and 82 injured.
Most of the reported fatalities are in Cebu province at 71, followed by Negros Occidental (18), Negros Oriental (12), Agusan del Sur at (6), and Southern Leyte (2).
Also, one death each was logged in Antique, Capiz, Iloilo, Bohol, and Leyte.
Sixty five of the missing persons were reported in Cebu and 62 in Negros Occidental.
Also, of the 82 injured, 69 are from Cebu province.
The Visayas suffered the worst damage, with Tino tearing off roofs, uprooting trees and electric poles, and triggering massive flooding.
Meanwhile, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC)-the implementing arm of the OCD-said a total of 544,081 families or 1,951,546 persons were affected in eight regions nationwide due to Tino.
Of the affected individuals, the NDRRMC said 127,827 families or 445,744 individuals were served inside 4,933 evacuation centers.
Although Tino exited the Philippine area of responsibility at 2 a.m., rain is still expected in parts of Luzon and Mindanao, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., upon the recommendation of the NDRRMC, has declared a state of national emergency due to Tino.
The declaration of a national emergency will allow government agencies to access emergency funds and expedite the procurement of essential goods and services for typhoon victims.
