The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) is validating reports of three deaths possibly linked to Typhoon Tino, which brought heavy rains, floods, and power outages across the Visayas and Mindanao.
OCD Deputy Administrator for Operations Assistant Secretary Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV said in a Super Radyo dzBB interview that fatalities were reported in Bohol, Southern Leyte, and Mindanao, though verification is ongoing.
“So meron kaming pangatlo sa Mindanao pero we are trying to validate pa po,” said Alejandro.
(“We have a third [reported casualty] in Mindanao, but we are still trying to validate it.”)
Around 60,000 people have been affected, while 76,000 individuals were evacuated before the storm made landfall. Over 362 evacuation centers are open, accommodating nearly 40,000 evacuees.
“Ngayon po, ongoing ang aming coordination and monitoring because we’re trying to check kung ano ang kailangan sa ground na maaaring ibigay pa ng national,” Alejandro added.
(“We continue coordination and monitoring to determine what additional aid can be provided by the national government.”)
Flooding hit parts of Central and Southern Cebu, while damaged houses were reported in Siargao and Region 8. Several passengers remain stranded in Matnog, Sorsogon after port operations were suspended.
In Southern Leyte, local officials confirmed one fatality — a senior citizen who drowned in St. Bernard after failing to evacuate in time.
“Mayroon tayong isang confirmed na bali nalunod sa munisipyo ng St. Bernard. Senior citizen po… kasi solo parent, wala naman kasama na ito sa bahay,” said PDRRMO Danilo Atienza.
(“We have one confirmed case — a senior citizen who drowned in St. Bernard. She lived alone and wasn’t able to evacuate in time.”)
Over 1,000 families or 5,000 individuals have sought shelter in Silago town, while power remains out across the province. Officials are considering declaring a state of calamity depending on ongoing assessments.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported one death and nearly 60,000 people affected as of its 6 a.m. situational report.
Classes and several flights were suspended on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, due to the effects of Typhoon Tino.
