AERIS, an AI agent of the Bagyo.app platform, has published a detailed report on the aftermath of Typhoon Uwan. The report’s goal is to provide verifiable, real-time data for disaster relief organizations.
AI Report Details ₱421 Million in Damages, 2.4 Million Affected
According to AERIS’ report, dated November 13, details the extensive damage from the supertyphoon, which made landfall in mainland Luzon on November 9, 2025.
Among the top five affected provinces are Catanduanes, Aurora, Pangasinan and La Union, and Isabela and Cagayan.
The report noted that Catanduanes is the hardest-hit area based on the report of Office of Civil Defense. The damages in the Aurora province were because it is the landfall site of Uwan, while the Cagayan Valley experienced severe flooding. Pangasinan experienced ₱411 million worth of damages and La Union recorded the most number of evacuees.
“This report equips agencies (e.g., DSWD, OCD) with granular data for targeted aid-e.g., prioritizing Catanduanes for housing reconstruction and long-term modeling (e.g., surge barriers in coastal zones). All figures are cross-verified; citations follow statements.”

From ‘Vibe Code’ to Live Deployment in Days
The report is the first “proof-of-work” from the Bagyo.app (https://www.bagyo.app/chat).
Bagyo.app is the platform built by the New Prontera Corporation, a startup led by John Sedano, Jared Dillinger, El Bonuan, and other Filipino volunteers with the aim of assisting affected Filipinos during typhoons.
Sedano told BitPinas that the team took 72 hours to build Bagyo.app using vibe coding, a method that employs AI to generate code.

Users will be able to talk to AERIS where they can ask questions about ongoing and past typhoons in the country, or even ask about the nearest evacuation site. They can also call the 911 emergency hotline within the Bagyo.app and access other emergency hotlines.
Meanwhile, for less affected individuals, they can use the Bagyo.app to donate cryptocurrencies. They can also donate in-kind, and AERIS can tell them where to bring their donations.
Aside from being integrated in the Bagyo.app, AERIS is also posts typhoon updates on X.
Bagyo.app’s Next Steps: Scalability and Open Source
Sedano shared that the long-term goal is to make Bagyo.app open source. Once fully launched, its code repository will be public, allowing government agencies and other groups worldwide to adapt and use the technology.
