At least 45 people were killed in flash floods and landslides in the Philippines, and several others are feared missing as tropical storm Nalgae hit the country’s southern provinces early on Saturday, officials said.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) initially reported 72 deaths but later revised the number to 45, citing an overcount by local authorities, the state-run news agency reported.
