2 dead in Central Visayas due to ‘Enteng,’ habagat

TWO individuals from Central Visayas were reportedly dead due to the combined effects of Tropical Storm Enteng (international name: Yagi) and the southwest monsoon (habagat), the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said Monday, September 2, 2024.

In a situational report, the NDRRMC said 10 individuals, also in the Central Visayas, were injured due to the inclement weather.

It said 14 families or 63 individuals in three barangays in the said region were affected by the combined effects of Enteng and Habagat.

The agency also reported two collapsed structures in Central Visayas, particularly in San Jose, Tisa, and Banilad in Cebu City.

The NDRRMC said 14 seaports in the Calarazon and Bicol regions were non-operational due to bad weather, leaving 739 passengers, 282 rolling cargoes, 22 vessels, and four motorbancas stranded.

In Metro Manila, Malacañang canceled classes in all public and private schools as well as work in government offices due to heavy rainfall, which is expected to cause flooding in communities.
