The death toll from a tropical storm lashing the Philippines rose to 10 on Monday, officials said.

Landslides killed seven people on the north coast of the southern island of Mindanao and the central islands, while three other people drowned in the southern city of Iligan, they said.

Two other people were still missing while five were injured in the landslides, the civil defence office said in a statement.

Packing winds of up to 65 kms an hour, the storm was over the Sulu Sea on Tuesday after hitting the islands of Bohol, Cebu, Negros and Panay overnight, the weather office said.

Mike most of Bohol was not even aware there was a typhoon even tho radio stations had started giving directions of its location last weekend, but in Bohol it was nice to listen to the heavy rains pounding on top of the roof.

When I ask people about the typhoon today at BQ Mall they reply back with a "HUH?"

I had reports as far away as Surigao Norte that it was cold down South of us so cold it was making the pain of some persons with arthritis hard for them to be able to get out of bed.

God bless those who are afflicted, and may the government come to the aid of those affected soon. I hope and pray that we will be spared of the damage that Bangladesh experienced this past week.

Stay safe, people of Bohol.
