26 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES
According to a report by Inquirer News, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) made a statement regarding the disasters and accidents caused by the typhoon. The statement indicated that 26 people died due to Typhoon Kalmaegi, locally known as "Tino." It was reported that most of the deaths were due to drowning.
The majority of the reported deaths occurred in the Central Visayas region, with 22 fatalities, followed by 2 from the Negros Island Region and 1 from Eastern Visayas.
The OCD noted that approximately 387,000 people have been evacuated due to the hurricane so far.
AFFECTED 60 THOUSAND PEOPLE
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) of the Philippines also announced that the typhoon affected approximately 60,000 people in the central and southern regions.
POWER OUTAGES OCCURRING
According to the warning from the State Meteorological Agency, it was stated that Kalmaegi, known locally as Tino, is moving northwest at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour and could bring storm waves of up to 3 meters. The typhoon, which reached a maximum wind speed of 130 kilometers per hour, is expected to increase its intensity in the South China Sea in the coming days.
Authorities announced that power outages have occurred on Siargao Island, one of the country's most popular tourist destinations, due to the strong winds.

In Cebu province, settlements were submerged, and residents waited for rescue on rooftops. Vehicles were swept away in the flooded streets. The typhoon is expected to reach central Vietnam on Thursday.
Scientists warn that storms are becoming more frequent and stronger due to human-induced climate change.
