Rescuers in the Philippines were diving into a lake and scouring isolated villages on Sunday to locate dozens of missing people as the death toll from Tropical Storm Trami hit 100.
Trami, which rammed into the Philippines on October 24, was among the deadliest storms to hit Southeast Asia this year.
According to the national disaster agency, it forced more than half a million people to flee their homes and at least 36 people remain missing.
Police in the hardest-hit Bicol region have recorded 38 deaths, most due to drowning.
The death toll in Batangas, south of Manila, has risen to 55, provincial police chief Jacinto Malinao told AFP.
Two were reported dead in separate incidents of electrocution and drowning in Cavite province, police said.
Five more bodies were recovered in other provinces, bringing the total to 100.
On Sunday, the police, coast guards, and a marine diving team searched Taal Lake in Batangas for a family of seven.
Most of the deaths in Batangas have been attributed to rain-induced landslides.
More than 20 bodies were pulled from heaps of mud, boulders, and fallen trees, while police said at least another 20 people in the province are still missing.
The national disaster agency said Sunday that about 560,000 people had been displaced by floods, which submerged hundreds of villages in swaths of the northern Philippines.
About 20 big storms and typhoons hit the archipelago nation or its surrounding waters each year, damaging homes and infrastructure and killing dozens of people.
