27 DEATHS FROM STORM SON-TINH IN PHILIPPINES


 
 
MANILA, Philippines - Fatalities resulting from the onslaught of storm Son-Tinh has reached 24 as of Saturday, as disaster risk management officials said as the turbulent weather had completely exited the Philippines.



The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said most of the deaths caused by the storm were from Central Visayas at Southern Luzon that suffered heavy flooding. Other affected areas were Bicol, Western and Eastern Visayas, and Southern Mindanao.
In the island of Romblon in the Visayas, teachers, Eva Fajutag and Grace Mallorca drowned when a boat carrying them capsized. Fajutag is a school superintendent while Mallorca is a school administration officer.
 Son-Tinh had affected 14,693 families, a total of 66,768 people. Some 3,382 families — 15,243 people — are currently staying in 97 evacuation centres.


Southern Luzon and the Bicol Region suffered extensive damage with property loss initially estimated to reach P36.6 million (Dh3.25 million) with least 22 houses totally destroyed and 95 partially damaged.


Reports reaching Manila said extensive flooding on the tracks caused a train to suffer derailment on Friday in Sariaya in Quezon province, Southern Luzon, resulting in several injuries to passengers but there were no fatalities.
The Philippines endures about 20 major storms or typhoons each year that occur mainly during the rainy season between June and October.
