According to the Philippines' National Disaster Management Agency, nearly 500,000 people have fled their homes to avoid being hit by the tram, and at least 36 people are still missing.

Police recorded at least 38 deaths in the country's Bicol region, which suffered the most damage from the trams; Most of them drowned, officials said.

Two people died after drowning and electrocution in Cavite province, police said. Five more bodies were recovered from other provinces, according to sources from the Philippine police and the National Disaster Management Agency. As a result, the death toll from Tropical Storm Trami in the country has increased to 100.

Edgar Posadas, the country's civil defense official, told AFP that rescuers were still unable to reach many isolated areas. Due to which it is feared that the number of deaths may increase in the coming days.
