As the death toll from Tropical Storm Trami increases to 100, rescuers intensify efforts to locate the 36 people still unaccounted for, diving into lakes and combing through isolated villages.
Bicol regional police director Andre Dizon emphasized the urgency of rescue operations, stating, "We are still receiving many calls and we are trying to save as many people as we can, hoping there will be no more deaths."
Authorities warn that a higher death toll might be imminent, with Civil Defence Office's Edgar Posadas noting, "A higher death toll is possible in the coming days since rescuers can now reach previously isolated places."
