Five members of a family in Bago City, Negros Occidental who perished in the intense flooding, as Typhoon Tino unleashed its fury in the Visayas on November 4, 2025, were laid to rest.

Among the casualties were Roselyn Joy Senoro, a senior high school teacher.

In a memorial video, her colleagues  recounted Senoro’s best moments when she was yet alive. Her mother Jenelyn, father Roy, and younger siblings Ellen Mae and Joy were all swept away by raging floodwaters.

"Masakit. How many days na walang tulog, walang kain ngunit kailangan mong maging strong sa family. Masakit talaga,” Leah Senoro, a relative, said.

Ellen Mae’s friends also remember her good ways and positive outlook in life. 

"Kung nasaan ka man ngayon, sana i-guide mo kami. Hindi ka namin malilimutan,” Jessica, a friend, said. 

"Ang masasabi ko lang, God’s purpose, God’s plan sa kanyang buhay,” Rica, another friend, said.

Despite the loss, relatives continue to hope that the bodies of other members of the family ages 13 years old, six years old, and four years old will be retrieved.

“Kailangan… kung maaari, makita pa ang tatlo. Kahit ano pa ang nangyari sa kanila, makita lang talaga,” Leah said.

The Municipality of La Castellana is one of severely affected areas in the Province of Negros Occidental. Based on the assessment of the Local Government Unit (LGU), trees from the mountains were washed away which clogged waterways.  

“Ang source or cause ng malawakang pagbaha ang mga timber. Meaning to say, mula talaga sa Kanlaon,” said La Castellana Vice Mayor Rhumylla Nicor Mangilimutan.

Fourth District Rep. Jeffrey Ferrer said that illegal logging must stop before another catastrophe hits the district.

"Kung may illegal logging, illegal na nga, mali na yan. Ang aking observation, kung part of that meron sa other part na dini-develop, i-call natin ang attention ng DENR [Department of Environment and Natural Resources], to inventory, inspection kung ano ang ginagawa doon sa taas,” Ferrer underscored.
