Licab submerged as Mirasol, Nando bring heavy rains
Tropical Depression Mirasol made landfall near Casiguran, Aurora, prompting Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 over several Luzon areas.
The cyclone was last spotted 165 kilometers west of Calayan, Cagayan, packing winds of 55 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 70 kph.
Continuous rains from both Mirasol and Tropical Depression Nando submerged the town of Licab, Nueva Ecija, in floodwaters.
The Labong River in Barangay Villarosa, Licab, overflowed its banks, inundating nearby barangays and making the Licab-Victoria Road impassable to light vehicles.
Despite a recently completed flood control project along the Labong River, the DPWH notes that Licab remains highly susceptible to inundation due to its geographic position as a catch basin.
Mirasol was expected to leave the Philippine area of responsibility on Thursday, September 18, 2025.
