‘Ambo’ leaves Samareños crying for help; 4 dead

Jipapad, a fifth class municipality with an annual income of not more than P25 million, was the worst hit among the eight towns affected by Ambo when it barreled through the province on May 14.

Ambo weakened into a severe tropical storm on Friday and downgraded further into a tropical storm on Saturday on its way out of the country. “We are calling our national government, our provincial government, even the private sector to help us. This is the worst tragedy in the history of Jipapad. The floodwaters reached so high that there were families inside their homes that were trapped,” he said.

The towns affected by Ambo were San Policarpo, Dolores, Maslog, Oras, Arteche, and Can-avid, according to the Provincial Risk Reduction and Management Office .
