At the height of Typhoon Leon in Baggao, Cagayan, several farmers braved the raging flood waters to salvage sacks of corn they had earlier harvested.In his "24 Oras" report, Jonathan Andal found out that the men were among the farmers residing in the far-flung area of Barangay Hacienda Intal.Around 100 corn farmers were affected by the typhoon, according to a local official.
GMA Integrated News is trying to get the reaction of the local government.Josie Quibasan, a farmer, said she lost three tons of corn harvest."Sana may mabuting pusong tumulong sa amin para mabalik lang yung nawala sa amin sir kasi utang lang namin yun sir. 'Di ko alam kung paano namin yun mababayaran," she said.Quibasan was able to salvage 45 sacks of corn, but some have turned black and could no longer command a good price.
