MANILA (UPDATED)—President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday conducted an aerial survey of areas in Baybay City, Leyte that were severely affected by tropical storm Agaton.

After the inspection, Duterte led the distribution of relief goods and cash assistance to affected families in the city.

All families were given P5,000 each while those whose loved ones died due to Agaton were given P10,000.

Baybay was one of the severely affected areas in the Visayas and Mindanao where landslides were triggered due to heavy rains brought by Agaton.

The death toll in the landslide in Baybay rose to 36 on Tuesday, based on a situational report posted by the local government.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council earlier Friday said the fatalities from Agaton rose to 137.

The DSWD said these funds are still the initial financial aid for those affected by Agaton in Baybay.—Report from Sharon Evite-Carangue
