MANILA, Philippines – Landslides triggered by rains from Typhoons “Winnie” and “Yoyong” killed more than 300 people in Dingalan, Aurora in November and December 2005. Nearly 1,000 houses were destroyed.

On Dec. 30, 2005, 70 families were marooned in Barangay Esperanza in Casiguran as floodwaters reached 10 feet high. All 24 villages in the town were flooded.

Mayor Reynaldo Bitong said the floods, the worst in Casiguran after Typhoon “Harurot’s” rains in July 2003, came as the Amro, Minanga, Dibet, Bianoan and Calabgan rivers overflowed.

On July 31, 2006, the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council said 57 villages in the towns of Baler, Casiguran, Dilasag, Dinalungan, Dipaculao, Maria Aurora and San Luis were at high risk to floods and landslides on the heels of Typhoon “Henry.”
