5 dead, 3 missing in Valencia City flash floods; state of calamity declared

Flash floods in Valencia City, Bukidnon, resulted in five deaths and three missing individuals.

The Sangguniang Panlungsod declared a state of calamity on September 19, 2025, to access the city's ₱33 million quick response fund for disaster relief.

The floods, triggered by a cloudburst on Wednesday night, caused Panlibatuhan Creek to overflow, heavily impacting Purok 20 in Barangay Poblacion.

Search and retrieval operations were temporarily halted on Friday due to new rainfall in the mountainous areas near Mt. Kalatungan.

A Black Hawk helicopter was deployed to reinforce ongoing operations.
