By Sunday morning, authorities confirmed three fatalities, alongside three injured and three missing persons, all linked to the combined effects of Typhoon Wipha and the southwest monsoon, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported in its latest update.
The NDRRMC noted that these casualty figures are still undergoing validation.
