Bohol death toll from Odette reaches 80

The death toll in Bohol due to Typhoon Odette has risen to 80 as of Monday morning, according to Governor Arthur Yap.

These figures cover 42 out of 48 local government units, with some areas still reporting due to damaged communication lines.

The typhoon also left 14 missing persons and 78 injured in the province.

President Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go visited Bohol to personally assess the devastation brought by the typhoon.

Governor Arthur Yap requested the President to provide the province with generator sets to power the town's water pumping stations, as electricity lines are still down.

The President promised to give Bohol PHP2 billion in financial assistance.

The province needs air assets to transport food to the islands, where residents depend on the mainland and neighboring province of Cebu for their supplies.

Islanders are in dire need of food, water, clothes, and power support to run water refilling stations.
