MANILA, Philippines -- The death toll due to Tropical Storm Sendong now reached 1,080 while 1,079 others remained missing, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said today.

In its 6 a.m. update, the disaster agency tallied a total of 1,979 injuries and 28,049 damaged housing structures in one of the worst weather disasters to hit the country this year.

Seven regions in Mindanao and Visayas were affected in the devastation, comprising 13 provinces, eighth cities, 52 towns and 766 barangays, with over 600,000 affected populations, the NDRRMC added.

As of this posting, the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police, Department of Health, Philippine Coast Guard, and Philippine Red Cross deployed over 1,000 personnel in the badly-hit cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.

The estimated cost of damages to infrastructure and agriculture amounted to over P1.03 billion. Thousands of residents in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan are still in several evacuation centers in the area, the state agency added.

Meantime, the government is preparing safe relocation sites for the victims of the tropical storm.

According to Edgardo Ollet, Chief of NDRRMC-Office of Civil Defense, over 276,400 persons are staying in evacuation centers as of this morning.

Ollet said a cluster was formed to take charge of the relocation procedures to ensure that survivors will have a humane living condition after the incident.

The cluster is composed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, National Housing Authority, Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and local government units (LGUs).

Pahayag 20

11 At nakita ko ang isang malaking luklukang maputi, at ang nakaluklok doon, na sa kaniyang harapan, ang lupa at ang langit ay tumakas; at walang nasumpungang kalalagyan nila.

12 At nakita ko ang mga patay, malalaki at maliliit, na nangakatayo sa harapan ng luklukan; at nangabuksan ang mga aklat: at nabuksan ang ibang aklat, na siyang aklat ng buhay: at ang mga patay ay hinatulan ayon sa mga bagay na nasusulat sa mga aklat, ayon sa kanilang mga gawa.
