A river in Barangay Tamayo overflowed inundating nearby areas. 

In Barangay Toril, several residents who went to the river to take a dip had to leave and secure their belongings when the water level rose.

Meanwhile, a tornado in Datu Montawal, Maguindanao del Sur destroyed several houses and toppled trees.
