Conson entered the Philippine Archipelago on Tuesday with sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 150 kilometers per hour.

The National Council for Disaster Reduction and Management said in its report that at least 24 houses were damaged by the typhoon, which caused floods and power outages in several areas in the central archipelago.

Among the missing are fishermen who were at sea during the arrival of the typhoon, which is called "Jolina" in the Philippines.

Authorities said the damage is not very serious at this point, while the typhoon has already eased to a tropical storm and is expected to leave the country on Friday.

However, another typhoon called Chanthu - Kiko in the Philippines is approaching - with winds of 150 km / h and gusts of up to 185 km / h.
