MANILA, Philippines — Eight road sections in the Bicol region and Eastern Visayas have been closed to all types of vehicles as the low pressure area (formerly known as Tropical Depression “Usman”) continues to affect parts of the country, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said.

In a Facebook post, DPWH Secretary Mark Villar shared a photo of the list of the closed roads. He said the closure  was “due to flooding, collapsed roadway and landslides.”
