Nearly 8.8 million people across the Philippines continue to recover from the combined impact of tropical cyclones “Luis,” “Maymay” and “Neneng,” as well as the enhanced southwest monsoon, disaster management officials reported Monday.

During a virtual news conference, Vicente Gregorio Tomas, director of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Disaster Preparedness Service, said 46,900 families — or roughly 164,500 individuals — remain housed across 1,365 evacuation centers in the Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Calabarzon, the Cordillera Administrative Region and Metro Manila.

Tomas cited that 117 local jurisdictions have declared a state of calamity. Declared areas include Dagupan City, four municipalities in Pangasinan, 14 in Benguet, 12 in Bataan, 24 in Bulacan, 21 in Pampanga, 13 in Zambales, Montalban in Rizal, Nasugbu in Batangas and three in Occidental Mindoro.

Preliminary estimates show the storms caused P6.16 billion in infrastructure damage and P2.32 billion in agricultural losses.

“The total lost or damaged in figures is P6.16 billion in infrastructure, while damage to agriculture stands at P2.32 billion,” Tomas said.

Widespread flooding affected 724 areas across the country. Central Luzon recorded the highest concentration, with 561 flooded sites spanning Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales.

An additional 122 areas remained flooded in Pangasinan, 24 in Laguna, and 11 across Muntinlupa and Valenzuela.

Tomas added that 110 road sections and 14 bridges remain impassable due to landslides and structural damage. Emergency crews are conducting search-and-rescue operations in Tarlac following a bridge collapse where one person was rescued and four others remain missing.

To support affected residents, Social Welfare and Development Assistant Secretary Alex Quintalla reported that the government distributed 2.3 million family food packs alongside hygiene kits, cooking gear and modular tents.

Health officials are providing medical aid and monitoring potential disease outbreaks. Dr. Gloria Balboa of the Department of Health said workers delivered medical consultations to 5,831 individuals while monitoring waterborne illnesses, influenza, leptospirosis and dengue.

Balboa cited that 67 health facilities sustained an estimated P54.3 million in damage, though all government hospitals remain operational. Repairs will be funded through the agency’s Quick Response Fund.

In Metro Manila, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) general manager Nicolas Torre III said crews are clearing and maintenance-checking the capital’s 73 water pumping stations during breaks in the rain.

The agency provided mobile pumping units and L-shaped barriers to operators along the North Luzon Expressway to alleviate severe flooding on key roadways.

Torre reminded the public to use the MMDA hotline 136 exclusively for flood reports and emergency requests rather than traffic ordinance inquiries.

Disaster response agencies maintain 677 search-and-rescue personnel across 32 teams in active deployment, with more than 20,000 additional personnel on standby.
