MANILA — At least 26 people were killed, 14 remained missing, and 33 others were injured in the Philippines amid Tropical Storm Bualoi, the Philippine News Agency reported on Sunday.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said 738,714 families, or 2,797,706 individuals, have been affected by days of torrential rains, floods, and landslides caused by tropical cyclones locally known as Opong, Nando, and Mirasol.

According to the council, 46,611 families, or 163,317 individuals, are staying in 2,680 evacuation centers, while another 31,448 families, or 118,957 people, are receiving aid outside the centers.

The Cagayan Valley reported eight deaths, the Bicol Region nine fatalities, the Cordillera Administrative Region four deaths, Central Luzon and Central Visayas two each, and Eastern Visayas one fatality.

Heavy rain, strong winds, and floods also damaged 8,916 houses. The government has provided monetary assistance to 149,675 families through national agencies and local government units.

On Friday, Bualoi brought torrential rains and powerful winds to the central Philippines and southern Luzon, posing additional threats to residents in flood-hit Bulacan.

The storm follows Super Typhoon Ragasa, which battered the country in recent days, leaving more than 20 people dead in Taiwan and the Philippines.

Separately, the city of Sanya in south China’s island province of Hainan was placed on high alert as Typhoon Bualoi approached the southern part of the island, according to Xinhua News.

Sanya’s airport suspended all flights from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, and 36,842 residents were relocated. Schools across several areas were closed for the day.

Bualoi is moving northwest at 25 to 30 kilometers per hour (15 to 18 miles per hour) and is expected to pass near Hainan’s southern coast before striking north-central Vietnam on Sunday night. — Agencies
