MANILA, Philippines – Intermittent rains triggered flooding in Oriental Mindoro and several areas in Visayas, forcing at least 395 individuals to flee their homes on Tuesday, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said Wednesday. | |||
Southern Luzon and portions of the Visayas experienced rains over the past two days due to the presence of an active low pressure area (LPA) near Palawan, and another one east of southern Mindanao. | |||
The LPA near Palawan left the Philippine area of responsibility on Tuesday, while the one in southern Mindanao dissipated. | |||
The NDRRMC said 23 barangays (villages) in Naujan, Baco, Mansalay and Calapan City in Oriental Mindoro were submerged in floods. | |||
Rice fields in Barangays Buhangin, Adria Luna and Andres Ilagan – all in Naujan - were inundated after creeks surrounding them overflowed. Farmers were supposed to harvest rice this month. | |||
A total of 175 individuals fled their homes in Naujan; 110 in Calapan City; and 85 in Baco. | |||
Oriental Mindoro Governor Alfonso Umali said the situation in his province has improved. | |||
“So far manageable na pero meron pa ring binabantayan na mga lugar,” Umali told radio dzMM. | |||
Dead, missing | |||
A man, identified as Roger Dalumpines, drowned while swimming in a river in Barangay Jayubo, Lambunao, Iloilo during a rainy morning on Tuesday. | |||
Dalumpines’ wife and two children, who were with him when the incident occurred, are currently confined at the hospital after sustaining injuries. | |||
Meanwhile, a certain Ronny Herrera, a councilman (kagawad) of Barangay Tagbakin, Pola town, went missing after setting sail at the height of the rains. | |||
Visayas rains | |||
Over the Visayas region, several rice fields in the Capiz towns of Maayon, Mambusao, Pontevedra, Panit-an, Sapitan and Sigma were also inundated. | |||
Local disaster officials in Capiz said 26 barangays in the said towns were affected by flooding. | |||
The Aklan river also overflowed. | |||
Flooding also occurred in Palo, Leyte after the Guindapunan river overflowed. A total of 25 individuals sought temporary shelter at the Palo National High School and a barangay hall. | |||
Several roads in Barangays 74, 91, 94, 109 and 109-A in Tacloban City were rendered impassable to vehicles due to flooding. Waist-deep flood also submerged Sitio Lourdes in Barangay Old Manunca, Sta. Rita, Western Samar. | |||
In Sagay City, Negros Occidental, several houses in Barangay Paraiso were also submerged in flood waters after the Himogaan river overflowed. Residents stayed at the Holy Family Parish. | |||
The NDRRMC said social workers have prepared relief goods for those displaced by the floods. | |||
Latest weather information from PAGASA said the tail-end of the cold front is the prevailing weather system over the southern Luzon and Visayas today. | |||
