Deaths due to landslides and flashfloods from Tropical Storm "Usman" and prevailing bad weather systems increased to 85, according to National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) Wednesday.

Twenty one persons were missing while and 40 were injured. Most of the deaths were from Bicol, Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan) and Eastern Visayas.

According to NDRRMC, the number of persons in 170 evacuation centers in Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon), Bicol, and Eastern Visayas remain at 24,894.

"Usman" made landfall in Borongan, Eastern Samar on December 29 and weakened into a low pressure area, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services (Pagasa) reported.

A total of 208 areas were flooded in Mimaropa, Bicol, Western Visayas and Eastern Visayas.
