MANILA, Philippines – At least 15 barangays in Baco, Oriental Mindoro have been submerged in floods due to persistent rains, the town’s mayor said Tuesday.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, March 29 (PIA) –- The Philippine National Police (PNP) - MIMAROPA conducted a three-day training on e-Blotter users on February 27-29 at Camp Efigenio C. Navarro in barangay Suqui, Calapan City.  


Mayor Graciano dela Chica said rains have caused the Dulangan and Alag rivers and several creeks to overflow.
Police Chief Inspector Melchor D. Agusin led the training, which was participated by 105 participants from the regional headquarters, provincial police offices, city/municipal police officers of Oriental Mindoro.  


He said flood waters in some areas are now neck-deep. Some farmers also lost their crops to the floods.
Police Senior Supt. Caesar Daniel T. Miranda emphasized in his welcome remarks that e-blotter is a new tool in processing the information of criminals and law offenders.  


The town of Naujan in Oriental Mindoro is also suffering from flooding, according to Mayor Maria Angeles Casubuan.
Police Chief Supt. Artemio G. Hicban, regional director, added the training is a vital part of investigation. According to him, it enhances the crime reporting system in the country, improves public safety and effective law administration of justice.  


Evacuation of residents in low-lying areas in the affected areas is now ongoing.
“The course will play an integral part in the performance of the participants’ duties as law enforcers, especially as investigators. It will be an effective management tool for decision makers and security strategists to have an easy and intelligent way of mapping out peace and order and anti-criminality strategy,” Police Senior Superintendent Dennis J. Peña, deputy regional director for operation said.  


In its latest weather bulletin, PAGASA said the active low pressure area that was last spotted west northwest of Palawan has exited the Philippine area of responsibility, while the LPA east of southern Mindanao has dissipated.
Peña also said that through this training, investigators of Police Regional Office MIMAROPA are now better equipped with the essential knowledge in the new PNP crime incident reporting system.
 
However, a new shallow LPA has formed 160 kilometers east of Borongan, Eastern Samar.
 
PAGASA weather forecaster Jori Loiz said this weather system is expected to bring rains over Samar, Leyte, Masbate, Sorsogon, Mindoro and Northern Palawan.
 
The tail-end of the cold front, meanwhile, is the main weather system over southern Luzon and eastern Visayas.
 
Residents in low-lying areas were warned of flash floods and landslides.
