Typhoon Kalmaegi left the Philippines before dawn Thursday with 114 deaths and at least 127 missing mainly in the central Philippines, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) said.

OCD Deputy Administrator Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro told local media that Kalmaegi killed at least 114, "with actual body count," in five regions in central Philippines.

"We are only awaiting the death certificates. But this is the number that we are getting," Alejandro added.

He said the search for the missing continued. Of the missing, 65 were from Cebu province and 62 from Negros Island region.

Kalmaegi was the 20th typhoon to slam the Philippines this year.
