Landslide hurts woman as rains hit Catanduanes

Heavy rains spawned by a low pressure area in Mindanao brought floods to this capital town and a landslide in one town that injured a 66-year-old woman yesterday.

At the Catanduanes National High School, the province’s biggest public school with 3,000 students, school officials suspended classes in the afternoon after floods started to enter the campus from rice fields.

Small floods covered parts of the national highway in Virac, rendering parts of the road impassable.

The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said another landslide also buried a section of the national highway in Viga town although no one was hurt.
