MANILA, Philippines — More than 27,000 families in Luzon have been affected by the combined effects of Typhoon Bising (international name: Danas) and the southwest monsoon, or habagat, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported on Monday.

As of 8:00 a.m., the NDRRMC reported that a total of 27,401 families, or 82,548 individuals, had been affected by the two weather disturbances.

The majority of those affected were in Central Luzon, with 26,711 families or 80,421 individuals. This was followed by 617 families (1,959 individuals) in the Ilocos Region and 73 families (188 individuals) in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

The NDRRMC had yet to report any casualties or damage to agriculture and infrastructure resulting from Typhoon Bising and the southwest monsoon.


While Bising is now far from the Philippine landmass, it continues to enhance the habagat, which is bringing rains to Metro Manila and many other parts of the country.
