Super Typhoon 'Goni' Hits the Philippines, 19 Dead or Missing
[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The death toll and number of missing persons in the Philippines, hit by Typhoon 'Goni' No. 19, has risen to at least 19.
According to local media on the 2nd, at least 16 people lost their lives due to floods and landslides in Catanduanes and Albay provinces, southeast of Manila, where Goni made landfall the previous day.
Earlier, at Mayon Volcano, an active volcano in Albay Province, mudslides and rocks swept down with strong currents, burying about 150 houses, leaving at least 3 people missing.
It is estimated that about 75,000 houses were destroyed or damaged due to Goni, and as power supply, communications, and roads are cut off in various parts of northern Philippines, concerns are growing that the scale of damage will increase over time.
