Tuguegarao: 40 of 49 barangays flooded, mayor says
Tuguegarao City is experiencing its worst flooding since 1972, with 40 out of 49 barangays submerged following Typhoon Ulysses.
Mayor Jefferson Soriano stated that while the water flow remains strong and deep, the water level is slowly receding.
He noted that over 80 percent of the city is underwater, prompting rescue and evacuation operations.
The province of Cagayan has been placed under a state of calamity due to the severe flooding.
The floodwaters are worse than previous calamities, with the water level at Buntun Bridge reaching 13 meters, compared to 11.27 meters last year.
Assistance for the rescue and evacuation of residents is being provided by the Philippine Coast Guard, PNP, BFP, and other LGUs.
Nineteen evacuation centers have been activated, though only around 3,000 individuals are currently housed in them, with many more awaiting evacuation.
