Meanwhile, the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) reported three more deaths from typhoon “Santi,” bringing the total number of fatalities to 19.
The NDCC said the deaths were due mostly to drowning and occurred in suburban Laguna and in two eastern provinces.Three other people are missing primarily due to flash floods, the council said. Almost 16,000 people are still in evacuation centers three days after the typhoon hit.
Floodwaters remain waist-deep or higher in Laguna and in Pangasinan, after Santi dumped more rain on areas already inundated by two previous deadly storms.
