National disaster officials, however, were still validating reported deaths. Heavy rainfall, flooding in low-lying areas, power and communication interruptions, and road blockages have been reported throughout the province. The extent of the damage is still being assessed by the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
