Echague residents evacuate as Typhoon Uwan approaches super typhoon status

Families in flood-prone areas in Echague, Isabela, began evacuating on Saturday, November 8, 2025, as Typhoon Uwan threatened to intensify into a super typhoon.

At least seven families, or around 20 individuals, from Barangay Gucab were among the first to evacuate, seeking shelter at the Isabela State University evacuation center.

The local government prioritized the evacuation of the elderly, children, and other vulnerable residents.

Residents living near the Cagayan River expressed worries about rising water levels due to the typhoon's expected rainfall.

PAGASA had placed Isabela under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 as of its 11 a.m. bulletin, with the typhoon projected to make landfall in southern Isabela or northern Aurora.

One resident appealed to the government for long-term relocation assistance, citing the recurring displacement during typhoons.
