The typhoon ravaged the region with its heavy rainfall from December 15 to 18 left a total of PhP1,033,131,515,100 worth of damages in infrastructures, agricultural crops, and school buildings. Six months after the disaster, the situation in Iligan City remains bleak. Many people are still living in so-called tent cities and living off relief goods.
