10,000 residents displaced by flash floods in Maguindanao
More than 10,000 residents in Pagalungan, Maguindanao were displaced by flash floods that occurred on Tuesday.
The recurring flash floods are attributed to heavy downpours from a low-pressure area affecting eastern Mindanao.
Pagalungan, situated beside the Liguasan Marsh, acts as a catch basin for floodwaters from nearby rivers.
The mayor described the current flooding as the worst he has experienced, with 11 out of 12 barangays submerged for four days.
Local officials are appealing for immediate flood control projects to address the persistent issue.
The floods have also impacted over 200 hectares of agricultural land in the region.
