Tropical Storm Kiyapo has left three people dead and one missing while government assistance to affected communities has exceeded P10 million, according to the latest National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) report released on Monday, July 27, hours before President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. delivers his State of the Nation Address (SONA).
The NDRRMC said the storm has claimed one life in Davao and two in Sarangani due to drowning and fallen debris. One person also remains missing in Sarangani.
The latest report showed that 63,606 families or 295,066 individuals have been affected by Kiyapo across eight regions.
The affected regions were Ilocos (Region 1), Cagayan Valley (Region 2), Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Western Visayas (Region 6), Zamboanga Peninsula (Region 9), Davao (Region 11), Soccsksargen (Region 12), and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Of those affected, a total of 1,760 families or 7,550 persons were staying in 31 evacuation centers.
The storm also damaged 671 houses, including 246 that were destroyed and 425 that sustained partial damage.
Government agencies have so far extended P10,093,344 worth of assistance to affected communities.
The latest figures were released as President Marcos was set to outline his administration's priorities in his fourth SONA, where disaster resilience and climate adaptation are expected to remain among the government's key agenda following a series of weather disturbances that affected several parts of the country this year.
Kiyapo developed over the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) last week and brought heavy rains and strong winds to parts of Mindanao. The storm enhanced the southwest monsoon in some areas, triggering floods and prompting evacuations in vulnerable communities.
It left PAR on Saturday, July 25, leaving a trail of destruction.
The NDRRMC said damage assessments and validation of casualties are continuing as local government units and national agencies sustain relief and recovery operations in affected areas.
