Philippines Devastated by Series of Typhoons.

Tropical Storm Nalgae has killed at least 45 people and injured dozens more in the Philippines, the country’s disaster agency said Saturday.

​

A further 14 people were missing after the storm, known locally as Paeng, made landfall on Friday packing winds of 75 kilometers (46 miles) per hour.

​

A death toll of 72 was originally announced by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, before being revised down.

​

The group blamed an “overcount” by local officials for the initial figure, according to state media.

​

Provinces and cities in the south were hit the hardest by the storm. A “state of calamity” has been declared in the city of Cotabatao on Mindanao island, where some 67,000 residents have been affected by the storm.
