Eastern Visayas braces for Typhoon Tino as areas have been placed under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal Number 4, based on PAGASA's weather bulletin issued at 8 p.m. on Monday, November 3, 2025.
Earlier, preemptive evacuation of residents in disaster-prone areas was facilitated.
In San Jose Central School, Tacloban City, evacuees swarmed afternoon on Monday, November 3, 2025. The evacuees are residents of adjacent barangays seeking refuge while weathering the storm.
Over 30 classrooms serve as temporary shelter to evacuees.
GMA Regional TV Balitang Bisdak learned that there were a few residents who evacuated since evening of November 2, 2025.
“Binabaha ang aming bahay kaya tuwing may bagyo lumilikas talaga kami. Para maniguro,” said Lorna Cabatuan, an evacuee.
“Nasa huli ang pagsisisi. Kakulop pa kami gab-i nga alas 11,” according to Nelly Villain, another evacuee.
Other local government units (LGUs) have been preoccupied with their disaster responses in anticipation of the effects of #TinoPH.
One of these is the LGU of Guiuan in the Province of Eastern Samar.
Residents of Suluan Island in Guiuan moved their motorbancas to elevated grounds early on. Residents of Homonhon Island also secured their fishing boats, following the Red Alert status hoisted over the entire municipality on November 2, 2025.
A forced evacuation in Barangay Victory Island, one of Guiuan's islets, was also conducted. Over 20 families, or over 100 individuals evacuated on November 2, 2025 and were taken to mainland Guiuan.
Fishing boats were moored to a "boat garage" morning on November 3, 2025.
As of this writing, #TinoPH has started dumping rains over Guiuan and other areas in Eastern Visayas. Further, government agencies have braced for the impact of #TinoPH in the region.
The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Eastern Visayas spearheaded a pre-disaster risk assessment meeting along with various government agencies.
According to Rey Gozon, officer in charge of OCD 8, preemptive evacuation of residents in disaster-prone areas has been implemented in a few areas, while ongoing for the rest, as of morning on November 3, 2025.
“Yung preventive evacuation will cover doon sa mga storm surge-prone areas, flood-prone areas, landslide- prone areas, and of course yung tatamaan sa malalakas na hangin ng typhoon, yun yung binigyan natin ng emphasis, binigyan natin ng window ang ating local DRRMO ng preventive and forced evacuation until this afternoon. Mararanasan na natin yung hangin ngayong gabi,” Gozon said.
