Most of the deaths were reported in the central province of Cebu, which was pummeled by Kalmaegi on Tuesday, according to a local official.

Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla assured Cebu residents affected by Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) that food aid will be provided following the cyclone’s devastation.

A typhoon has killed at least 142 people and left another 127 missing after unleashing devastating floods across the Philippines, authorities said.
