The death toll from Typhoon Tino has risen to 52, according to the latest report from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on Wednesday morning.

RH Edniel Parrosa reports that this figure does not yet include the recently recovered remains of six crew members from a Super Huey helicopter that crashed in Agusan del Sur.

In addition to the confirmed fatalities, 13 individuals remain missing, all reportedly from Region 7 or Central Visayas.

Based on the number of casualties, Office of Civil Defense spokesperson Junie Castillo noted that Cebu may have been the hardest-hit area. However, he added that the full impact will only become clear once Typhoon Tino fully moves away from the region. Northern Palawan continues to face threats from the storm.

Meanwhile, an estimated 203,595 families, or 706,549 individuals, have been affected by the typhoon across MIMAROPA, Bicol, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Central Visayas, Eastern Visayas, and Caraga. Of this number, nearly 102,000 families remain in evacuation centers.

Authorities continue to conduct search and rescue operations while monitoring affected areas for further emergencies.
