Actually there is an estimated 1,200 - 1,500 people but the rescuers were not able to count the bodies since a lot f them were still missing but are pressumed dead! Buried instantly in mud deposit and lahar flows.

We are doing contributions like foods, clothings and even money .

it's a burden our people have to live with. I think they need to replant more forests to better control the mudslides cuz it seems that's the biggest threat. I too have to deal with hurricanes where i live.

‘Seniang’ kills 5, injures 6

90,000 evacuated, 5 provinces powerless


Inquirer, Associated Press
Last updated 05:33pm (Mla time) 12/10/2006


ILOILO CITY -- (9TH UPDATE) Typhoon “Seniang” (international codename: Utor) left five persons dead in the Visayas as the typhoon entered Panay Island Sunday, downing power lines along its path that left the provinces of Capiz and Aklan, including the resort island of Boracay, without electricity.

A four-year-old girl died in Tacloban City while four others in Capiz were killed as Seniang whipped the island. Six others in Capiz and Bantayan Island in Cebu were injured.

The typhoon also forced thousands to flee flooded and damaged homes and left the prospect of a bleak Christmas for many residents of Leyte, Samar, Bantayan Island in Cebu, Panay and Boracay Island.

Seniang displaced nearly 3,000 families and destroyed properties initially placed at P32 million in the different parts of Eastern Visayas alone, according to initial reports gathered by the regional disaster coordinating council.

The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), in its Sunday morning advisory, said a total of 17,525 families or 90,295 persons were brought to 59 evacuation centers in the Southern Tagalog, Bicol, Central and Eastern Visayas regions.

Seniang hit the country little more than a week after typhoon Reming (international codename: Durian) slammed into southern Luzon, triggering mudslides that buried villages and left more than 1,200 people dead or missing around Mayon volcano in Albay province.

The approach of the new storm prompted Albay officials to evacuate some 59,000 people for fear or renewed mudslides

The storm also stranded close to 9,000 passengers and more than 300 vehicles in various ports in the affected regions as authorities suspended all sea travel.

The islands of Samar, Leyte, Biliran and Bantayan were still without electricity until Sunday. Seniang destroyed infrastructure, homes and electric facilities as it exited Eastern Visayas Saturday night and headed for Bantayan and Boracay off Panay Island by Sunday morning.

The NDCC also said power was out in the whole province of Marinduque

Seniang made its landfall near Guiuan, Eastern Samar around noon Saturday and moved toward the northern part of Tacloban City, southern part of Samar and into Biliran Island in the afternoon, before moving to Bantayan in Cebu late in the evening.

The latest advisory of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) late Sunday afternoon said the storm had maintained its strength of 120-kilometer per hour (kph) winds with gusts of up to 150 kph, after crossing Occidental Mindoro and was in the vicinity of the Calamian group of islands.

It is forecast to be on its way out of the country, 390 kilometers northwest of Coron, Palawan, on Monday afternoon and well over the South China Sea the next day.

At the height of the typhoon on Saturday afternoon, the gustiness of the wind reached 136 kph, according to PAGASA in Tacloban.

Three persons were also believed to be trapped inside a small inter-island ferry that capsized due to strong winds at the Culasi port in Roxas City, according to the local Coast Guard, which was undertaking search operations.

In Boracay Island, strong winds whipped by Seniang toppled electric posts, coconut trees and damaged houses and resorts.

Police Officer 2 Jose Rupe Pangonon of the Boracay Special Tourist Police Office said electricity had been down since 9 p.m. Saturday and most resorts that were teeming with tourists for the holiday season were powered by generators.

Trips of ferryboats between the mainland and Boracay had been suspended.

Superintendent William Macavinta, Aklan provincial police director, said a boat operator from Boracay was killed after his vessel capsized. He said officials were checking reports of other people missing from the port town of Caticlan across Boracay.

The Capiz police reported that one-year-old Angeline Besana, of Bago, Barangay Chiquito, Panay, died when their house was hit by a fallen tree shortly before 1 a.m. on Sunday.

Her mother was seriously injured and is confined in a hospital here, police said. Also killed were Pacquito Recto, Delly Adremesin and Delly's son Jonard, all of San Fernando, Romblon, according to reports reaching the police here.

The Tacloban City police also reported that 4-year-old April Felicen was pinned to death by a falling tree at their home in Barangay Bagacay, a village along the national highway located some 12 km from Tacloban City proper, on Saturday.

Felicen's six-year-old brother, John Rey, was seriously injured in the incident and brought to a hospital in the city.

Another girl was seriously injured by a tree that fell on her family's hut in Barangay Cabugnan in Tanauan, Leyte late Saturday, according to Tanauan Mayor Roque Tiu. The girl was brought to a hospital for treatment, he said.

In Tacloban City, the city disaster coordinating council had initially reported that more than 600 families had fled Saturday to evacuation centers in the city proper.

Radio reports also said that hundreds had evacuated to safe grounds at the height of the typhoon, particularly towns in the northern part of Leyte, in the southwestern part of Samar, and southern and southeastern part of Eastern Samar.

Residents in at least two villages in San Francisco town on Panaon Island in Southern Leyte were also ordered evacuated Saturday noon by Governor Rosette Lerias as these were landslide-prone areas.

A storm surge occurred late Saturday night in nearby Basey town in Samar, but no one was reported hurt by the rising sea water.

Some areas in Tacloban City remained flooded such as parts of the V&G Better Homes Subdivision, Barangay San Jose, Barangay Apitong, among other areas.

The Leyte II Electric Cooperative (Leyeco II) here reported that it might take them one to two weeks to repair the electric lines. In the city proper alone, more than a dozen wooden poles were toppled by the typhoon.

Leyeco II has ordered the withdrawal of its 12-man task force from Albay’s disaster areas since its work in helping restore power in the Bicol Region was almost done, according to Macel Avestruz of Leyeco II. She said the task force was set to leave Albay on Sunday afternoon for Tacloban.

The National Transmission Corp. (TransCo), which cut its power supply early Saturday afternoon at the height of the typhoon, has not re-supplied the local electric cooperatives in Leyte and Samar.

Telephone lines were also affected by Seniang's strong winds but cell phones could still be contacted. Many cellular phones, however, were dead on Saturday as the power cut-off prevented many from recharging their cell phone batteries. Some residents used their car chargers or went to commercial establishments with power generators.

Relief operations are now going on in different evacuation centers and in churches, warehouses and gymnasiums where some of the typhoon victims sought refuge.

The disaster coordinating councils in the city, province and the region are still gathering typhoon reports from their respective jurisdictions.

Public storm signal number 3 (100-185 kph winds) was up over Occidental Mindoro and the Calamian group while signal number 2 (60-100 kph) was over Oriental Mindoro and Lubang Island.

Signal number 1 (30-60 kph winds) was up over Romblon, Marinduque, Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Zambales, Metro Manila, Aklan, Antique, northern Palawan and Cuyo Island.

Storm signals elsewhere have been lowered.
