Large areas in Central and Southern Luzon and in the Visayas and Mindanao are still swamped in floodwaters due to torrential rains dumped by the combination of shear line and a low pressure area (LPA).
Large areas in Central and Southern Luzon and in the Visayas and Mindanao are still swamped in floodwaters due to torrential rains dumped by the combination of shear line and a low pressure area , the government’s disaster body said in its monitoring report issued on Thursday.
A big area in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao has been struck by widespread flooding and landslides before Christmas last year and this was further aggravated by the ensuing low pressure areas since January this year, bringing heavy rains in the already flood-hit provinces. The state weather bureau warned that Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao should expect more rains, as a result of the prevailing LPA.
At least 25 roads and 11 bridges have remained closed to traffic as of Thursday as the government rushed to deliver emergency assistance to the affected provinces, cities and municipalities across the country. On Wednesday, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led the distribution of aid in Misamis Occidental.
