MANILA, Nov 14 (Philippine Inquirer/ANN): The military reported on Friday that Typhoon Ulysses (international name: Vamco) left at least 39 people dead and 20 missing, and authorities tried to reconcile the conflicting numbers of casualties and account for the millions of pesos lost as the latest storm to batter the Philippines blew away from the country.
Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said only 14 were verified as having died due to the typhoon, whose torrential rains inundated a large area of Luzon and brought back images of the widespread flooding in the capital caused by Tropical Storm Ondoy (Ketsana) 11 years earlier.
