BACOLOD CITY – The Office of Civil Defense-Negros Island Region has terminated search, rescue, and retrieval operations for victims of typhoon “Tino” in the region.
OCD-NIR Director Donato Sermeno, in a phone interview on Tuesday, Nov. 18, said this is pursuant to the advice of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) terminating SRR operations as of 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 16.
Sermeno noted that families of missing individuals can still request for SRR if they are not satisfied or if it is deemed necessary for them to continue the search for their loved ones.
“It’s a case-to-case basis in our level,” he said, adding that they can grant the request of a family.
Final data gathered by the OCD-NIR on Wednesday, Nov. 19, said 96 deaths were recorded in Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental with 40 missing persons in the two provinces.
Nineteen fatalities were in Moises Padilla, 14 in La Castellana, 10 in Hinigaran, eight in Isabela, seven in Bago City, six in Binalbagan, four in La Carlota City, three in San Carlos City, two in Murcia, and one each in Himamaylan City, Pontevedra, Ilog, and San Enrique, all in Negros Occidental.
In Negros Oriental, Canlaon City had 18 with one in Vallehermoso.
In Negros Occidental, 14 were missing in La Castellana, 10 in Moises Padilla, four each in Bago City and Isabela, three in La Carlota City, and two in San Carlos City. Three were in Canlaon City in Negros Oriental.
The OCD-NIR thanked SRR teams who worked relentlessly day and night searching for missing persons and conducting rescue and retrieval operations under difficult and hazardous circumstances.
Relocation
The municipal government of Moises Padilla in Negros Occidental have offered free relocation to 362 families whose houses were washed out by Tino.
Mayor Ella Celestina Garcia-Yulo met affected households and barangay officials at the town auditorium on Wednesday, Nov. 19, to announce the availability of a one-hectare relocation site in Barangay Inolingan, Moises Padilla to be donated by her uncle Eric Golez.
Yulo said that affected areas in Barangays Inolingan, Montilla, and Quintin Remo have been declared no-build zones due to the risk of recurring flash floods. “It’s not safe to go back anymore,” she stressed.
Yulo instructed barangay officials to immediately list and secure statements of intent from residents who agree to relocate to Barangay Inolingan.
However, relocation remains optional, as some residents said they have alternative places to transfer.
