The death toll from tropical cyclone "Gener" (Saola) and the southwest monsoon rose further to 45 Sunday, with four members of a family in Mindanao being the latest fatalities.
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) head Benito Ramos said a mudslide fell on the house of the victims in Midsalip in Zamboanga del Sur Saturday.
The NDRRMC said the mudslide and a subsequent flash flood swept the victims' house after a tornado (buhawi) hit the area.
It also said a person previously missing, 15-year-old John Marck Rigueros of Benguet in northern Luaon, was confirmed dead as of Saturday.
The NDRRMC said Gener and the southwest monsoon have so far affected 190,196 families or 858,534 people in 1,207 villages in 150 towns and 28 cities in 35 provinces.
Of these, 3,258 families or 14,181 people are being served in 94 evacuation centers.
