Typhoon Tino brought devastation to many parts of Cebu as heavy rains and dangerous winds triggered deep floods when the typhoon made landfall dawn on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
Tino made landfall in the northern town of Borbon but the scope of damage extended down to central portion of the island where major cities are located, including Cebu City, Mandaue City, and Talisay City.
Tino first made landfall in Silago, Leyte at midnight before it made landfall in Cebu at 5:10 a.m and in Sagay City in Negros Occidental at 6:40 a.m. and San Lorenzo, Guimaras at 11:10 a.m.
In subdivisions in Cebu City, Talisay City and Mandaue City, flooding reached the second floor. Many residents had to be rescued from their homes.
A video taken by a resident of Villa del Rio 1 in Cebu City showed floodwaters carrying vehicles away. According to residents, the torrential rain caused the creek nearby to overflow and triggered the flooding. Floodwaters in the subdivision reached up to 12 feet.
“Hingkalit ingon ani ang tubig, wala mi magdahom moabot ang tubig og ingon ani,” said Junjun Declaros, a resident.
According to residents, they did not expect floodwaters to be this deep because they did not experience the same when supertyphoon Odette lashed at Cebu in December 2021.
An estimated 300 houses were affected in Cebu City.
Meanwhile, another video taken by a resident of a residential compound in Umapad, Mandaue City showed vehicles getting submerged in floodwaters.
A video posted by the Philippine Red Cross on its Facebook page showed residents of Barangay Jubay in Liloan town going up the roof of their houses to avoid getting carried away by floodwaters.
Based on data from PDRRMO as of November 4, at least 39 people from the province died from the typhoon:
- Compostela - 15
- Danao - 8
- Mandaue City - 9
- Talisay City - 7
At least nine others died in Cebu City.
In the province, at least 33,661 families (105,588 individuals) were evacuated, according to the Capitol.
