Cebu received P927.8 million in DSWD assistance and P9.6 million from external partners, while Bohol received P46.4 million in aid.
Typhoon Impact
Typhoon Tino entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility in November 2025 and triggered flooding, flash floods and landslides across several regions in the country.
Affected areas included the National Capital Region, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and the Negros Island Region.
Dromic, under the DSWD’s Disaster Response Management Bureau, continues to monitor displacement data and coordinate disaster response reporting as recovery operations continue across affected communities.
