Romulo Tagalo, provincial information officer, said the rain was caused by a local thunderstorm.
He said that based on data from the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, the thunderstorm dumped “a month’s worth of rain in just four hours.”
Tagalo said no injuries were reported as a result of the flooding.
The floods affected the villages of Poblacion, Magugpo West, Magugpo North, Magugpo South, Magugpo East within the city and the villages of Apokon, Mankilam and San Miguel on the city’s outskirts but had subsided by Friday, according to Redentor Cardinal, operations chief of the provincial disaster risk reduction and management council.
The displaced residents have since returned home, Tagalo said.
