Despite Uwan’s landfall in Casiguran, Aurora, officials reported no fatalities in Central Luzon. However, the Baler–Casiguran Road remains under clearing operations after landslides and debris isolated the northern portion of Aurora from its capital town, as reported by RH Edniel Parrosa.
Meanwhile, the death toll from Typhoon Tino, which devastated several parts of the Visayas and neighboring regions earlier this month, has climbed to 232, according to the NDRRMC’s Tuesday (November 11) report.

In response to the extensive damage left by Tino, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has placed the entire country under a state of national calamity for one year, instructing all government agencies to sustain relief, rehabilitation, and recovery operations in heavily affected areas.
Rescue and clearing teams continue to work across regions hit by both typhoons, as national and local authorities mobilize aid for thousands of displaced residents.
