Twenty-one other people remain missing from Tropical Storm Mitag, as another weather disturbance — Tropical Depression Hagibis — crossed Mindoro island, south of the Philippine capital of Manila, disaster relief officials and forecasters said.

Mitag weakened further as it hovered over the northern Babuyan islands with sustained winds of 40 mph and gusts of up to 50 mph. It was forecast to be 130 miles south of Okinawa, Japan by Wednesday morning.

Hagibis, which weakened from a tropical storm, blew across the southern half of Mindoro, about 100 miles south of Manila around 4 p.m. today, packing winds of up to 34 mph, the weather bureau said.

Hagibis killed 13 people in the country last week before heading for Vietnam. It reversed its position and turned back to the Philippines, complicating emergency preparations.

Fatalities from Mitag rose from 12 to 17 Tuesday, after three people were reportedly killed in western Palawan province and two men drowned in northern Cagayan province, the Office of Civil Defense reported.

Eighteen other people remain missing in Kalinga and nearby Apayao province, including two families with eight members each whose houses were washed out by landslides, said Elvira Calina, a civil defense official.
