Typhoon QuintaPH lashed Luzon overnight, dumping heavy rains that caused flooding, toppling power lines, and whipping up giant waves that sank at least 30 boats off Batangas and Bataan provinces, disaster officials said.

Quinta , packing wind speeds of 125 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 150 kph, triggered flooding and prompted forced evacuations of tens of thousands of people in the Bicol, Calabarzon and Mimaropa regions.

In Calabarzon, the number of evacuees and affected residents rose to 2,061 families across 108 villages. In Mimaropa, 762 families were staying in temporary shelters.In Pampanga province, water from the upstream of the Pampanga River worsened floods in 50 coastal villages where high tide raised water levels to 1.5 meters.Bustos and Ipo dams in Bulacan province released water, submerging at least 21 low-lying villages in the towns of Calumpit and Hagonoy in floodwater that reached up to 1.

According to the Coast Guard, the yacht, the MV Oceanic Explorer 3, sank in rough seas while anchored off Keppel shipyard in Barangay San Roque, Bauan, around 7 a.m. on Monday. The Coast Guard Bauan substation said rescuers would continue to look for the eighth crew member, Rodolfo Sarabia.
