Agence France-Presse quoted Philippine disaster relief officials as confirming that Typhoon "Bapun" killed 16 people in the central Philippines.
It was reported that on the 25th, the wind speed of Typhoon "Baboon" once reached 195 kilometers per hour, overturning the roofs of houses in the affected areas, and also overturning power poles. However, due to severe damage in some areas, the Internet and mobile phone network were forced to be interrupted. As of the morning of the 26th, the relevant departments could not immediately conduct a comprehensive assessment of the losses.
It is reported that, compared with the super typhoon "Haiyan" encountered by the Philippines in 2013, the wind of "Papong" is much weaker, but officials of relevant departments said that the path of "Bapong" is similar to that of "Haiyan". Haiyan was the deadliest typhoon storm on record in the country, which killed more than 6,000 people and lost more than 1,700 people that year.

On the evening of the 24th local time, typhoon "Baboon" made landfall off the coast of the southeastern island of Samaa in the Philippines. Over 16,000 people hid overnight in schools, gymnasiums, and containment facilities. Another 25,000 people were stranded in the port due to the cancellation of the ferry caused by the typhoon, and multiple flights were cancelled at the local airport. The invasion of "Baboon" caused damage to houses and flooded villages, and tens of thousands of people spent Christmas in evacuation centers far from their homes.
