MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATE 2) The death toll from tropical storm "Mina" (international codename: Mitag) rose to 17, with four others missing, as of Tuesday evening, the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) said.

The NDCC said the storm has affected 118,712 families or 540,305 people across Luzon and Western Visayas. Of these, 12,164 families or 56,534 people were in evacuation shelters.

Bulk of the evacuees, 46,308 were in the provinces of Catanduanes, and Camarines Sur in the Bicol Region, which were placed under storm signal number 1, due to an approaching tropical depression, "Lando" (international codename: Hagibis).

"Lando" made landfall on Mindoro Island late Tuesday afternoon, and was forecast to hit the provinces of Marinduque, Romblon, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur, said Nathaniel Cruz, chief of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) weather branch.

The other evacuees were in the provinces of Laguna (790), Bulacan (750), Quezon (350), the NDCC said.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reported P162,017,000 in damage to infrastructure, the Department of Agriculture (DA) reported P109,648,281 in damage to agriculture, the NDCC said.

The Department of Education (DepEd) reported P210,825,000 in damage to classrooms in the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Apayao, Kalinga, Mt. Province, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, and Laoag City, the NDCC said.

The storm also totally damages 114 houses and partially damaged 2,533 others. In Ilocos Norte province alone, 1,270 houses were partially damaged.

Of the 17 deaths, mostly due to drowning, eight happened in the Bicol Region. Three deaths were reported in Southern Luzon, four in the Cordilleras, and two in the Ilocos Region.

The four missing persons include two Philippine Air Force (PAF) pilots who failed to return from their reconnaissance mission over the Kalayaan Islands. The two others were feared to have drowned in Conner town, Apayao province and Baggao town, Cagayan province.

"Mina" was first forecast to hit the Bicol Region before it changed course and slammed into extreme northern Luzon last Sunday evening.

“Lando” killed 13 people last week in its initial pass over the Philippines. It subsequently reversed its course Monday.

Another brewing storm is expected to hit the Philippines in the next four days and bring more rains to the eastern part of Luzon and the central Philippines, the weather bureau said.
