Another 19 people are still missing after a week of heavy seasonal rains in the southern and eastern parts of the archipelago, according to its civil defence authorities.
The coastguard rescued more than two dozen families in the towns of Ozamiz and Clarin at the height of the flooding.
At least 150 people died in October after a violent tropical storm caused landslides and flooding across the country.
