Around eight persons in the wake of Tropical Storm ''Ramil'' with five family members were killed when a tree fell on their home in Pitogo town, Quezon Province Gov. Helen Tan said in a radio interview on Sunday.

She did not name the family members who perished on during the morning but dzBB reported that a five-month old baby was among the fatalities.

There were reported to have died in Capiz, which was not in the track of ''Ramil'' but a yellow warning rainfall was raised by forecasters.

Sheila Astillero of the Capiz Disaster Risk Reduction office told Bilyonario News Channel that they had initial reports two drowned while one was electrocuted. She added that these were still being validated.

Rainfall reacted 400 millimeters in Capiz instead of the forecasted 50-100 milimeters as Pagasa forecaster Charmagne Varilla said ''Ramil'' went down slightly to Northern Samar its ''outer rainbands reached Visayas''

Tan told dzBB that rains were ''on and off, light to moderate.'' No areas are flooded and main roads were passable. She added that 6,000 persons were evacuated.
