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. | |||
Mayor Graciano dela Chica said rains have caused the Dulangan and Alag rivers and several creeks to overflow. | |||
He said flood waters in some areas are now neck-deep. Some farmers also lost their crops to the floods. | |||
The town of Naujan in Oriental Mindoro is also suffering from flooding, according to Mayor Maria Angeles Casubuan. | |||
Evacuation of residents in low-lying areas in the affected areas is now ongoing. | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
