Slater Young’s Banaue-inspired project under fire after Typhoon Tino floods Cebu
“Is the ‘no flood in the Guadalupe area’ in the room with us?”
These were the words of a netizen after a post from CDN Digital last August resurfaced in the wake of Typhoon Tino’s severe flooding.
In the said post, Engineer Slater Young responded to the public’s concerns regarding their upland development in Barangay Guadalupe, Cebu, emphasizing that it integrated flood control measures and included wider green spaces.
A few months after, Typhoon Tino flooded parts of Cebu City, particularly in Guadalupe and its neighboring low-lying areas, leaving many to ponder the question:

Tino deaths increase to 188, missing still 135, says OCD
The number of dead from Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) has increased to 188, said the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) deputy spokesperson Diego Mariano on Friday morning.
Mariano also said that they had also recorded 135 missing and 96 injured.
The figures were based on a report by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), and the reported deaths remained subject to validation and this might change, Mariano said.
According to Mariano, Cebu—which bore the brunt of Tino, triggering rains and massive flooding—accounted for 139 fatalities. The remaining deaths were reported in Cebu province (24), Negros Occidental (24), Negros Oriental (9), Agusan del Sur (6), Capiz (3), Southern Leyte (2), and one each in Antique, Iloilo, Guimaras, Bohol, and Leyte.

Some facts about typhoons:
They’re all the same — officially, tropical cyclones. But they get different names in different parts of the world. Hurricane is used in the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, central and northeast Pacific. They are typhoons in the northwest Pacific. In the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, they are called cyclones.
Tropical cyclone is used in the southwest India Ocean; in the southwestern Pacific and southeastern India Ocean, they are severe tropical cyclones

Typhoon Kalmaegi made landfall Thursday in Vietnam’s already storm-battered central belt, where thousands have been evacuated from areas in the path of one of the world’s deadliest cyclones this year.
Kalmaegi cut a path of destruction through the Philippines this week, killing at least 140 people and leaving 127 missing after unleashing devastating floods.
It crashed into central Vietnam late Thursday, packing sustained winds of up to 149 kilometres (92 miles) per hour with much faster gusts, the environment ministry said.

‘Mountain dams would weaken Cebu floods’
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to build dams on Cebu’s mountains following destructive floods spurred by typhoon Tino.
Public Works Secretary Vivencio Dizon, who visited affected areas in Talisay and Mandaue cities on Wednesday, Nov. 5 said the flooding was an event that happened “once in 20 years.” But he stressed the need for upstream infrastructure to prevent similar disasters in Cebu.
“Kailangan talagang ayusin natin ang problema sa bundok sa upstream. Bale wala… ang mga dike diyan along the river kung ganyan na kataas ang tubig (We need to solve the problem upstream, in the mountains. Dikes along the river do not serve if floodwaters are so high,” Dizon said.

Tino unleashed more than a month’s rainfall in Cebu within 24 hours
Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) brought torrential rains across the Visayas region earlier this week, unleashing more than a month’s worth of rainfall in parts of Cebu within 24 hours, causing widespread floods in urban communities as well as mountain barangays.
Tino produced significant rainfall accumulation on November 3, particularly over Central Visayas, according to the data provided by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
Satellite images from the weather agency’s SatREx system showed continuous rainfall over the region for several hours. The heaviest downpours occurred late in the evening, which caused rivers to further swell and eventually overflow.
Ground-based monitoring stations also confirmed extreme volumes of rainfall.

Pagasa: Storm ‘Uwan’ could affect Cebu if track shifts south
Cebu may still feel the impact of the approaching ‘Storm Uwan’ if the weather system veers slightly south of its current forecast path toward Northern Luzon, the state weather bureau warned on Thursday, November 6.
Engineer Al Quiblat, chief of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration Mactan (Pagasa Mactan), said the storm’s “uncertainty cone” would still cover parts of the Eastern Visayas, including Northern Samar, close enough to bring indirect effects to Cebu despite the current forecast showing no direct landfall over the region.
“Before siya muadto sa Northern Luzon, muagi gyud ni siya duol sa Eastern Visayas so ang iyahang uncertainty cone muabot sa Northern Samar,” Quiblat said in an interview.
(Before it would go to northern Luzon, it would still pass near Eastern Visayas so its uncertainty cone will still reach northern Samar.)
“Kung mahitabo na siya, dako man ang influence area—400 kilometers—so maapektuhan ang Cebu, pero medyo low na nga likelihood,” he said.
(If this will happen, its influence area is quite large–400 kilometers–so Cebu will still be affected, but that is a low likelihood.)

Villa del Rio residents recount horror of Typhoon Tino
For the first time in over three decades, floodwaters rose to the rooftops of homes in Villa del Rio 1 Subdivision in Barangay Bacayan, Cebu City.
This is a tragedy, residents said, that was worse than Typhoon Odette in 2021 and the most harrowing experience of their lives.
“Wala gyu’y nagdahom nga ingato [kataas] ang baha kay pila na gud ka bagyo niagi, Yolanda, Odette, wala gyu’y nakapasaka sa tubig diha sa sapa,” said Atty. Dante Jadman, a 24-year resident and president of the Villa del Rio 1 Homeowners Association.
Jadman said floodwaters submerged homes up to their second floors when Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) unleashed torrential rains over Cebu early Tuesday morning, November 4. Residents, he said, had no choice but to climb to their rooftops to survive.
Joy Sabandal, 59, said the memory remains vivid and haunting. She and her son clung to their rooftop for nearly four hours as the floodwaters swallowed their home.
“Niingon nako sa akong anak, ‘mamatay gyud ta ani sa hypothermia,’” she recalled. “Akong giampo nga kung kuhaon na lang mi sa Ginoo, kami duha na lang. Ayaw ko ibilin.”

No crocodile escape confirmed in Talisay City wildlife park after Tino
Emergency crews and local officials in Talisay City in Cebu moved quick Tuesday, November 4, to secure animals at Crocolandia after floodwaters reportedly breached parts of the park’s perimeter as Typhoon Tino’s rain inundated low-lying areas.
Initial field reports from barangay responders said sections of a wall of the park collapsed due to swiftly rising water, prompting a precautionary sweep of the grounds and adjacent waterways while staff worked to reinforce barriers and transfer animals to safer enclosures.
Authorities said there was no confirmed escape of crocodiles or other dangerous wildlife as of press time but urged residents living downstream to keep away from flood-filled creeks and to report any animal sightings to disaster officials immediately.
Crocolandia, a small wildlife park in Barangay Biasong known for housing saltwater crocodiles (including long-time resident “Lapu-Lapu”) as well as snakes, birds, and other rescued fauna—has operated for years as a conservation-oriented mini-zoo and education park in Talisay, the city next to Cebu City and the gateway to southern Cebu.
