He also noted that strong river current has damaged parts of protective dikes in the municipalities of San Felipe, Cabangan and San Narciso, minor landslides in Masinloc and Subic, damaged roads in San Marcelino, as well as a bridge and spillway in San Antonio.
The Zambales Provincial Disaster Risk-Reduction and Management Council said that 78 barangays in the 13 towns of Zambales were impacted by the typhoon, with 3,390 families and 10,544 persons adversely affected.
