SAN PEDRO CITY — Families living in high-risk areas fled their homes in Calamba City, Laguna, as floods and landslides occurred in other parts of the province.
Aldwin Cejo, the provincial disaster response chief, said 11 families (46 individuals) sought shelter in an evacuation site in Barangay (village) Bucal, Calamba City, as of 2 p.m. Sunday, as Severe Tropical Storm “Quinta” (international name: Molave) continued to dump heavy rains.
In Luisiana, a landslide occurred in Barangay San Antonio where a large tree was uprooted off a cliff. Cejo said the road had since been cleared.
Flooding was also reported in Barangay Concepcion in Lumban town and in Barangay Bakia in Majayjay town.
At the Batangas port, boat trips were cancelled Saturday evening. Search and rescue personnel across Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan region were readied for deployment, according to the regional police headquarters.
