PBBM declares national state of calamity due to Typhoon Tino

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared a national state of calamity due to the destructive impact of Typhoon Tino.

Malacañang announced the release of P760 million in aid for cities and provinces affected by the typhoon, with specific allocations for various provinces.

The declaration aims to expedite the release of emergency funds, ease procurement rules for faster aid delivery, and implement price control measures.

Typhoon Tino affected almost 2 million people or 544,081 families across 10 to 12 regions, with Western Visayas recording the highest number of affected individuals.

The typhoon resulted in at least 114 fatalities and left 127 missing, with many families displaced and staying in evacuation centers.

Authorities are now preparing for Typhoon Uuwan, which is forecast to intensify and threaten areas still recovering from Tino's devastation.
