CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Flood waters overflowed the banks of Layawan River, spreading a wide path of destruction in the commercial district of Oroquieta City on Tuesday.“The river rose by more than four feet and resulted in the closing down of the commercial district of Oroquieta City,” Misamis Occidental Governor Henry Oaminal was quoted by the Philippine Information Agency as saying.
“We are constantly monitoring the weather and we think there will be more rains in the coming days,” said Fernando Vincent Dy Jr., head of the Misamis Oriental Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office. In Gingoog City, an 18-year-old farmer was reported to have drowned on Christmas Day and two more dead were reported drowned in Bukidnon.
“We think the weather would still be bad until the New Year. It is better to hold the families than rescuing them again,” Dy said.
