The number of people who died due to Severe Tropical Storm “Enteng” already reached 20 on Saturday, Sept. 7, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said.

A situational report from the NDRRMC showed that 11 of the fatalities were recorded in Calabarzon (Region 4A), four in Bicol (Region 5), two each in Central Visayas (Region 7) and Eastern Visayas (Region 8), and one in Western Visayas (Region 6). 

Meanwhile, 26 persons remained missing while 18 others were injured.

The report also bared that a total of 675,428 families comprising 2,394,169 persons were affected by Enteng in 10 regions. They came from the National Capital Region (NCR), Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Ilocos (Region 1), Cagayan Valley (Region 2), Central Luzon (Region 3), Regions 4A, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Of those affected, there were 9,092 families or 34,520 individuals who were staying in 456 evacuation centers while 17,124 families or 47,713 individuals were being served outside temporary shelters.

The NDRRMC said that damage to agriculture has already reached P657,981,684.37 while damage to infrastructure amounted to P 675,256,168.65.

Further, many typhoon victims were left without homes. A total of 459 houses were completely destroyed while 6,587 houses were partially damaged.

Search and rescue

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said that its Coast Guard District Southern Tagalog (CGDSTL) joined intensified search and rescue efforts for the 15 fishermen who were reported missing after fishing boat "FBCA Zshan" encountered inclement weather during a fishing venture in the vicinity waters of Philippine Rise. 

According to PCG, FBCA Zshan with 15-member crew departed Infanta, Quezon on Aug. 18 for a fishing venture in the Pacific fishing ground. However, the fishermen received weather updates regarding the approaching storm on Sept. 1, prompting them to terminate their fishing activities.

FBCA Zshan "faced challenging sea conditions" while on her way back to the shore until their families reported to authorities that they have failed to come back. 

The Coast Guard Aviation Command (CGAvCom) deployed a helicopter to conduct an aerial search in the vicinity waters of Palanan, Isabela on Sept. 6, including the northern part of Quezon and northeastern Luzon.

The Philippine Air Force (PAF) Tactical Operations Group 4 also deployed a multipurpose helicopter to assist in the aerial survey.
