Typhoon Santi (Mirinae) lashed the capital and nearby provinces Saturday leaving 5,564 damaged houses and Php15.6 million worth infrastructural losses in Camarines Sur alone, the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) report said.

Typhoon Santi, with maximum winds of 150 kph and gustiness of up to 180 kph, slammed into Quezon Province northeast of Manila around midnight Friday, quickly moving westward south of the capital and weakening into a tropical storm Saturday afternoon.

 The local government units evacuated some 115,507 people in 251 evacuation centers in Regions IV-A, V and NCR before the landfall. Around 13, 456 people were affected in Regions III, IV-A, IV-B, V and NCR, the NDCC reported.

Typhoon Santi left 14 people dead, 4 injured and 4 missing. Around 245 passengers, 19 vehicles and 5 vessels were reported stranded in ports around Luzon evening of Saturday.

The National, Regional and Local Disaster Coordinating Councils are continuously conducting ocular survey of damaged bridges and flooded residences in the affected areas.

Typhoon Santi may have already left Philippine territory, but the rains and winds it brought rendered some roads and bridges in Luzon impassable. Below is the link about status of roads and bridges by the NDCC as reported by GMA news:
