Elderly man drowns, 41 families displaced in Negros Oriental flood
An elderly man drowned and 41 families were evacuated due to a flash flood in Barangay Cabugan, Bindoy, Negros Oriental, caused by heavy rains.
The 70-year-old victim was inside his house when a portion of the river control collapsed, leading to his house being swept away by floodwaters.
The victim was reportedly alone and was brought to his sister's house by neighbors before rescuers arrived.
A total of 131 individuals were evacuated to a local gym, but they returned home on Tuesday afternoon after the floodwaters subsided.
A bridge in the barangay also collapsed after several days of rain, potentially contributing to the severe flooding.
