Philippines storm and monsoon damage reaches ₱12.4B
Overview
By September 15, 2026, the cumulative impact of tropical cyclones Luis, Maymay, Neneng, and Pilandok, combined with the southwest monsoon, caused approximately ₱12.4 billion in damage to agriculture and infrastructure across the Philippines.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported agricultural losses of ₱4.1 billion, affecting 92,868 farmers and fisherfolk, while infrastructure damage reached ₱8.3 billion. The human toll included 44 deaths, 18 injuries, and five missing persons.
As the monsoon season progressed, the southwest monsoon (habagat) caused significant disruption. In late August, Zambales and Bataan declared states of emergency following relentless rains. By late August, heavy rains triggered red rainfall warnings in Metro Manila and Luzon, leading to the collapse of a portion of the Aquino Bridge in Tarlac. Phivolcs also issued lahar advisories for communities near the Pinatubo and Taal volcanoes due to potential volcanic sediment flows.
Weather patterns remained unsettled through late October and early November. In Negros Oriental, unsettled conditions were driven by the southwest monsoon in late October, followed by the northeast monsoon (amihan) through November 3. These systems brought continuous cloudy skies, rain showers, and thunderstorms.
In Mindanao, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and localized thunderstorms continued to affect the Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). PAGASA has maintained warnings that sudden heavy rainfall from these thunderstorms could trigger flash floods and landslides, particularly for residents in low-lying areas or near steep slopes.
By early November, weather warnings persisted. In Negros Oriental, the northeast monsoon continued to drive intermittent rainshowers and thunderstorms. In Mindanao, the influence of easterlies brought scattered rains and thunderstorms, with Caraga and Davao Oriental facing a higher risk of frequent rainfall that could trigger flash floods and landslides.
