However, the Bicol Regional Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (RDRRMC) announced that 12 fishermen went missing in Barangay Pananogan, Bato; Cagdarao, Panganiban, District 3, and Gigmoto in Catanduanes.
Around 2,823 families were affected by the typhoon in CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol, and Cordillera Administrative Region.
