Manila (ANTARA News) - At least four people were confirmed dead after Typhoon Kabayan (international codename: Muifa) lashed across Luzon, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRMMC) said Monday.

NDRRMC executive director Benito Ramos also said Typhoon Kabayan also caused at least P 2.5 million in damages to property.

Ramos said the fatalities include two in Bulacan and two in Bohol. He said five people were injured.

A total of 642 families, or 3,158 persons, were also affected in Central Luzon, Ramos also said.

A private property in Maribojoc, Bohol was also damaged by a landslide last Sunday that killed two children and injured at least four other people.

Ramos said the body of Liberato Yumul, 40, was fished out near the fish cages in Manila Bay off Corregidor Island in Bataan about Sunday noon.

At about the same time, Ramos said the cadaver of Jason Reyes, 30, was recovered along Pampanga River in Hagonoy.

He said Yumul and Reyes were among the eight fishermen who were reported missing after their fishing boat capsized in a swollen fish pond near the Pampanga River around 3 p.m. Saturday, OANA reported.
