MANILA, Philippines – A twister struck a relocation area in Meycauayan, Bulacan early Saturday morning, the village chief told 990AM in an interview.

The incident at 5:25 a.m. Saturday happened a day after another twister struck Quezon City and ripped off iron sheets of roofs, some of which landed on the wires hanging on electric posts nearby, and destroyed the local government’s day care center, among others, said Christian Buñing of Bayugo.

As of posting time, Buñing said the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) has not visited the area despite calls from the residents.

In an interview earlier on Saturday over 990AM, Mayor Peping Guillermo of Marilao, Bulacan said while the winds that hit them weren’t as strong, trees and posts were nonetheless toppled.

There were no casualties in both incidents, 990AM said.

990AM also said that the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) are repacking relief goods for distribution to those affected by the floods.

For the report, listen to 990AM.
