The typhoon is believed to be the strongest cyclone of the year, Xinhua news agency reported.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said typhoon Haiyan or known locally as Yolanda made its second landfall over Leyte province in the country's eastern coast at 7 a.m. local time.
The typhoon had maximum sustained winds of 235 kilometres per hour (kph) and gusts of up to 275 kph.
A total of 28,807 people were evacuated in Surigao Del Nore.
"No reports of casualties have been received but Siargao Island is in total blackout. Five houses have been totally damaged, four others were partially damaged," said Albert Caber, spokesman for eastern mindanao command of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said typhoon warning signal No. 4 (winds of 185 kph may be expected in 12 hours) has been hoisted in 25 provinces in central and southern Philippines.
Classes were suspended in Visayas and Mindanao regions.
