- Roughly one million people were evacuated nationwide ahead of the impact, with civil defense officials citing at least 916,000 moved and some tallies exceeding one million.
- Authorities confirmed at least two deaths linked to the storm, including a drowning in Catanduanes and a woman killed when a home collapsed in Catbalogan City.
- Hundreds of flights were canceled, several airports were shut, and schools and government offices across much of Luzon, including Metro Manila, were ordered closed.
- Forecasters warned of life‑threatening storm surge and about 200 mm or more of rain over wide areas as the country, already under a state of emergency after deadly Typhoon Kalmaegi, faces widespread outages and flooding.
