THE waterway that connects Subangdaku and Mahiga rivers constricts the river flow during heavy rainfall, causing flooding in Sitio Magtalisay, Mabolo on Sunday evening, June 23, 2024.Harold Alcontin, Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office head, said in a phone interview on Monday, June 24, 2024, that the cause of the flooding was the Y section of Mahiga creek and Subangdaku river that constricts the waterway to flow toward the ocean.
