Overview
- Cebu bore the worst flooding, with AFP reporting 76 deaths in the province, including 35 bodies recovered in Liloan, after torrents swept through neighborhoods.
- Divergent counts persisted, with the Office of Civil Defense confirming 66 fatalities and 26 missing, while AP cited at least 85 dead and 75 missing across the central Philippines.
- Six Philippine Air Force personnel died when a helicopter crashed in Agusan del Sur during a humanitarian mission linked to the storm response.
- Rains around Cebu City reached roughly 183 mm in 24 hours, triggering flash floods and landslides, and authorities moved more than 387,000 people to evacuation sites before landfall.
- Cebu declared a state of calamity, and the governor said silted rivers and substandard flood-control works likely worsened flooding, as PAGASA tracked the storm west into the South China Sea toward Vietnam with sustained winds near 130 km/h.
