Hey fam! Super typhoon Ragasa hit northern Philippines with a bang 🌪️, sending torrential rains and tree-snapping winds across Luzon. In just a few days, floods, deadly landslides, and widespread damage have shaken communities from Cagayan to Benguet.
The Philippine Coast Guard recovered four bodies from a fishing boat that capsized off Cagayan’s coast, bringing the death toll to six. Six survivors were pulled to safety, while three people are still missing. Our hearts go out to everyone waiting for news 💔.
Earlier in La Union’s Agoo town, a 67-year-old man was found dead along the shoreline after falling into a river. And in landlocked Benguet province, families mourn a 74-year-old victim whose vehicle was hit by a landslide in Tuba town. Several other passengers were injured.
