Harold Alcontin, head of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office , said the scarcity of water in these areas and in other parts of the city could get worst when El Niño hits. As a preparation, Alcontin said, the city’s command center is now monitoring the condition in the city’s 80 barangays, especially its 22 rural barangays.
“Naka receive na ta’g mga hangyo sa barangay, labi na sa katong mga lagyo-lagyo na [like] Busay ug Talamban. Nanghatag na ta og tubig nila,” he said.
