October 23, 2024 At least one person was reported missing and 20 houses were damaged by a landslide in Libon town, Albay, on Wednesday afternoon, October 23, as Tropical Storm Trami brought widespread heavy rainfall.

The storm was blowing over Aguinaldo town in the mountain province of Ifugao after dawn with sustained winds up to 95 kph and gusts up to 160 kph.

At least 24 people died, mostly due to drowning in the hard-hit Bicol region and nearby Quezon province but the toll was expected to rise as towns and villages isolated by flooding and roads blocked by landslides and toppled trees manage to send out reports, police and provincial officials said.
