Police Director General Oscar Albayalde told The Associated Press that 20 had died in the Cordillera region, four in Nueva Vizcaya province and another outside of the two regions, as the typhoon battered the rice-growing and mountain area on Saturday. Three more deaths have been reported in northeastern Cagayan province, where the typhoon made landfall.

On Sunday morning, Mangkhut is barreling toward densely populated southern China and Hong Kong, where authorities raised the highest storm warnings and moved nearly half a million people to shelter from seven cities.
