At least eight people have died and more than 64,000 have been displaced after severe flooding and landslides struck the Cagayan region in northern Philippines. The disaster occurred under the influence of Tropical Cyclone Basyang, also known as Penha, according to local media reports on Saturday. Four members of one family were killed in a landslide in Cagayan de Oro City, while four others died in Iligan and Agusan del Norte.

The storm caused widespread flooding across Western Visayas, Negros Island, Central Visayas, and Caraga regions. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reported that 16,528 families had been moved to 480 evacuation centers, while others sought refuge with relatives. The Philippine weather bureau said Basyang weakened into a low-pressure area early Saturday after making landfall five times across Mindanao and Visayas.

Authorities also reported that 32 flights were canceled since Thursday due to the storm, leaving 7,737 passengers stranded at airports across the country.
