Typhoon Tino (international name Kalmaegi), the 20th tropical cyclone to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility in 2025, brought widespread devastation across the Visayas and parts of Mindanao. It entered PAR on November 2 as a tropical storm and rapidly intensified into a typhoon by November 3, prompting the highest wind signal warnings over Dinagat Islands, Siargao, and Bucas Grande Islands. Tino made multiple landfalls on November 4-first in Silago, Southern Leyte, then in Borbon, Cebu, and finally in Sagay City, Negros Occidentalโbringing torrential rains, destructive winds, and storm surges that caused severe flooding and landslides. The typhoon exited PAR on November 6, but not before leaving a trail of destruction across several regions.
Nationwide, more than 2.4 million individuals were affected, with over 1,238,983 displaced. At least 224 people were reported dead, 526 injured, and 109 missing, making Tino the deadliest tropical cyclone to hit the country this year. Cebu Province suffered the highest death toll with 158 fatalities, where historic flash floods submerged large parts of Cebu City and neighboring towns. Power outages affected 1.4 million households, and 151,231 homes were damaged, including nearly 19,000 totally destroyed.
Infrastructure losses were widespreadโ69 roads and eight bridges were rendered impassable, 76 schools sustained damage, and โฑ219 million worth of agricultural and infrastructure losses were recorded. The storm also grounded thousands of passengers, with 4,704 individuals, 1,649 cargoes, and 1,643 vessels stranded in ports nationwide, while 186 flights were canceled. In response, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. placed the entire Philippines under a State of Calamity on November 6, 2025, enabling the release of emergency funds and price controls for basic goods.
Despite its short stay, Typhoon Tino left profound humanitarian and economic impacts, particularly in Cebu, Negros, Southern Leyte, and Dinagat Islands, underscoring the growing vulnerability of communities to extreme weather events.
Despite the devastation, communities demonstrated strong leadership and solidarity before, during, and after Typhoon Tino. Local groups activated preparedness plans, secured food and supplies, and reinforced homes. During the storm, they organized evacuations, aided stranded families, and used local resources like DRR kits and boats to ensure safety. Afterward, they led cleanup efforts, distributed locally purchased relief goods, and restored livelihoods through micro-grant support - showcasing the power of Survivor and Community-Led Response (sclr) in driving their own recovery.
