Mangudadatu said 20 of the 24 towns in her province have been severely affected by the prolonged dry spell and dwindling water sources. Nearly 6,000 farmers lost livelihood opportunities due to the prevailing harsh weather, she said. Basilan governor Hadjiman Salliman said people in Basilan rely mainly on agriculture as a source of income.
At least 1,370 hectares of farm lands – “40% rice farms, 40% corn farms and 20% high value crop farmers are affected,” the report said. In initial assessments made in early April, BARMM rendered livestock losses worth around P60 million due to El Niño and around P1.5-million in agricultural crops, Piang said.
