The combined effects of Typhoon Inday and the enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat) have resulted in at least 18 fatalities, seven injuries, and 12 individuals missing as severe flooding and landslides continue to impact multiple regions of the Philippines, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
Casualties and Missing Persons
Based on the NDRRMC's latest situational report issued at 6 a.m. on Sunday, July 12, 2026, the deaths were attributed to drowning and landslides. Of the total fatalities, 10 were reported in Malapatan, Sarangani; six in Calanogas, Lanao del Sur; and two in Bukidnon. Seven individuals sustained injuries from landslides, with one each from Torrijos, Marinduque and Malapatan, Sarangani; one from Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental; two from Calanogas, Lanao del Sur; and two from Baguio City, Benguet. Authorities are still searching for 12 missing individuals: seven from Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental, and five from Calanogas, Lanao del Sur. The NDRRMC emphasized that validation of all reported casualties is ongoing.
Affected Population and Displacement
The weather disturbance has affected an estimated 123,000 families, or more than 562,000 individuals, across several regions. Local government units have activated disaster response operations and are providing immediate assistance to affected communities. A total of 4,200 families, approximately 16,200 individuals, are currently sheltering in 116 evacuation centers established by local authorities as flooding, landslides, and other weather-related hazards persist.
Property Damage and Government Assistance
The severe weather has also damaged 236 houses, with 222 sustaining partial damage and 14 totally destroyed. To support affected residents, the government has extended over P28.57 million worth of assistance, including food packs, financial aid, and other relief items distributed through national government agencies and local government units.
Ongoing Weather Threats
Despite Typhoon Inday moving away from the country, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) warned that the enhanced southwest monsoon continues to bring heavy rains over parts of Luzon and the Visayas in the next 24 hours, increasing the risk of flooding and rain-induced landslides. Authorities urged the public to remain vigilant, monitor official weather advisories, and comply with evacuation orders, particularly in flood- and landslide-prone areas. The NDRRMC stated that disaster response and assessment operations are ongoing as agencies continue validating reports and extending assistance to affected communities.
