Floods and landslides triggered by a tropical storm have killed 132 people in the Philippines, with a total of more than 2.4 million people affected, disaster agencies said on Tuesday.
Thirty-four people were still missing while over 100 were injured, the national disaster agency said.
Sixty-one of the dead were from the southern province of Maguindanao, where over 100 houses were swept away by floods or buried in landslides. Seventeen people were still missing in Maguindanao, according to the provincial disaster agency. But authorities said it was less likely for survivors to be found at this point.
