Tropical Cyclones Luis and Maymay and the enhanced southwest monsoon (Habagat) bring heavy rains, flooding, and landslides across parts of Luzon, according to the Office of Civil Defense (OCD). Reported impacts include affected residents and a rising local death toll as conditions persist.
OCD figures reported in multiple updates show the number of people affected increasing over several days, with counts reported as nearly 42,000 and later over 80,000. The death toll also varies by report, with outlets citing OCD statements that the number of reported deaths reaches four, then six.
Across the sources, the shared focus remains on the combined hazards attributed to Luis, Maymay, and Habagat, and on OCD’s ongoing assessments. Differences lie mainly in the timing of each update, which affects the reported totals for deaths and the number of people affected.
