Legend:

CALABARZON - Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon.
* - Official estimates death toll of up to 8,000; missing persons were presumed dead, some maybe devoured by sharks at Ormoc Bay and Camotes Sea.
** - Official estimates death toll of up to 1,200; many of those unrecovered were buried under tons of lahar from Mayon Volcano.
*** - Deaths of up to 3,000 were estimated with many bodies buried under mudslides at Surigao del Norte and southern Negros Occidental.
1 - Categorized only as a Tropical Storm.
2 - Considered one of the strongest and intense typhoons in the history of the Northwestern Pacific Ocean; the typhoon unusually maintained winds of at least 240 kph for 60 hours, most of it while over land.
3 - This storm rapidly intensified with more than 260 kph winds in less than 8 hours at the coastline of Bicol Peninsula; now the record holder as the strongest typhoon in the history of the Philippines.
4 - The costliest typhoon of the Philippines passing over the most populated provinces of the Philippines (Cebu, Negros Occidental and Iloilo). Highly urbanized cities of Lapu-Lapu, Mandaue, Cebu, Bacolod and Iloilo were directly hit by the center of the storm where more than 1,000,000 people experienced the passage of the large "eye".
5 - Sening held the record for the strongest typhoon for 36 years (1970-2006). It was a very large typhoon and was described to be "gigantic" in terms of its radius and cloud cover that spread over the entire Philippine archipelago.
6 - Produced a massive storm surge surprising the residents of Garchitorena, a coastal town in Northern Camarines Sur, killing more than 200 people.

over water – typhoon's estimated strongest winds were recorded while typhoon was still at sea but is closely approaching land.
