One interesting comment I read was "Mr Ramos said many of the missing were fishermen who set sail ahead of the storm despite warnings to remain on land", I find this interesting because they already knew that a storm was approaching but still left. They were told to remain on land but still headed out. They knew that the risks of getting hit with a typhoon is high, but still insisted of going. Is life really worth a fish? They were asking to die I think. So far, "We have recorded 35 deaths, and rescuers are using rubber boats and canoes to help those in areas still flooded," Mr Ramos said. This does not even include any fishermen still missing, so most likely the death toll will increase over the next few days.
