Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan said earlier reports of typhoon casualty due to landslide in Barangay Bakakeng Central on Saturday morning remain unconfirmed. ADVERTISEMENT“Hindi kumpirmado, dalawang injured lang na tinakbo sa ospital [It is still unconfirmed, only two injured people taken to the hospital],” Domogan said in an interview with DZMM. Emergency responders tried to revive the person, whose mouth was already filled with mud, after they retrieved her body. Baguio, including the whole province of Benguet, is still under Signal No. In its 1:00 p.m. bulletin, “Ompong” was last spotted 85 kilometers west of Laoag City in Ilocos Norte, with maximum sustained winds of 170 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 260 kph.
