Typhoon Tino caused severe flooding and landslides in the Visayas, especially in Cebu. At least 48 people died, many were missing, and thousands of families were evacuated to safer places. Most of the fatalities drowned or were hit by falling debris.
In Cebu City, several barangays such as Cogon Pardo, Sapangdaku, Talamban, Guadalupe, Bacayan and Kalunasan were severely affected. Some families drowned after being swept away by the floodwaters, including a four-month-old baby. In Compostela, Danao, Talisay and Mandaue, hundreds of homes were damaged and many residents were left homeless.
In Bohol, more than 215,000 people or 43,000 families have been evacuated to evacuation centers. One person died, a barangay guard in Panglao, after being hit by a falling coconut while clearing debris. In Eastern Samar, 30 percent of the houses in Guiuan island barangays were destroyed.
Thousands of people were also stranded at ports due to suspended ferry services and several domestic and international flights were canceled in Cebu and other areas. Many schools suspended classes to keep students safe.
Typhoon Tino continues to move towards the Sulu Sea with winds of up to 130 kph and heavy rains that may cause landslides and flooding. PAGASA warns that heavy rains and sea hazards are possible.
