DAVAO CITY – Flood from heavy rain swamped low-lying barangays in Pigcawayan, North Cotabato on Tuesday, September 19.
Capao-an added floodwaters rose further on Tuesday night, September 19, due to continuous heavy rain earlier that day due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone . Pigcawayan sits on a plain at the foot of mountain ranges that divide the provinces of Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, and North Cotabato. "Last night, we have already distributed hygiene kits and sleeping kits to the displaced families," Luciano added.
The MSWD officer lamented that the flooding is getting worse in her town."We have not experienced this in the past," she said. "For too long, our place has borne the brunt of nature's fury. Year after year, heavy rains transform our streets into rivers and our homes into islands. Our lives have become a never-ending cycle of mopping up, seeking shelter, and hoping for rescue. It's a story we know too well," Placambo lamented.
