KORONADAL CITY, SOUTH COTABATO, Philippines β The death toll from Typhoon Inday (international name: Bavi) and the enhanced southwest monsoon (βhabagatβ) in Mindanao and the Visayas has risen to 20, as authorities continued search operations on Sunday, July 13, 2026.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported that the fatalities were recorded in Regions 10, 11, 12, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). The majority of deaths were due to drowning and landslides triggered by heavy rains.
As of Sunday afternoon, the NDRRMC also reported that at least 12 people were injured and 5 remain missing. Over 100,000 families have been affected across the regions, with many displaced to evacuation centers.
Typhoon Inday, which made landfall in the Philippines on July 11, has since weakened into a tropical storm as it moved out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility. However, the enhanced southwest monsoon continues to bring heavy rains to parts of Luzon and the Visayas.
Local government units and disaster response teams are conducting search and rescue operations for the missing individuals. Relief efforts are ongoing, with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) distributing food packs and other essentials to affected families.
