Typhoon Kalmaegi (locally known as Tino) and Typhoon Fung-wong (locally named Uwan) have battered the Philippines in back-to-back disasters, leaving massive destruction across Visayas, Bicol, and Eastern Visayas.

Kalmaegi (Tino) hit the Visayas hardest, killing 224 people, leaving 109 missing, and injuring over 500. Cebu was the hardest hit with 158 deaths and 57 missing, while Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental also suffered heavy damage.

Fung-wong (Uwan) affected parts of Bicol and Eastern Visayas, leaving two dead and two injured. Around 231,000 families or 836,000 people were affected, with more than 1,000 houses damaged across Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, and CARAGA. The storm is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Tuesday, though strong rains and winds remain in parts of Aurora.

Flooded streets, toppled trees, and mud-covered homes show the scale of the disaster. Nearly a million families or over three million people are struggling, with tens of thousands still in evacuation centres. More than 74,000 homes have been damaged.
