MANILA, Philippines — Tropical cyclone “Quinta” left at least nine people dead and four missing in a sweep across the Visayas and Bicol regions that sent flash floods rampaging in the lowlands and tens of  thousands fleeing to safer grounds.

The 17th and final storm of the Pacific season, which weakened into a depression and then into a low pressure as of Thursday, blew out into the West Philippine Sea where weathermen said it was likely to dissipate, weakened by cold winds from the northeast monsoon.
