Philippine President Benigno Aquino says local officials inflated Typhoon Haiyan deaths, estimating 2000 to 2500, far below the 10,000 cited amid widespread devastation in Tacloban and Leyte. Officials stress ongoing surveys, missing counts, and strained relief as aid groups caution against final tallies.
