MANILA - Cagayan territory became like a huge sea after the region was overwhelmed with floodwaters because of precipitation brought by Typhoon Ulysses and the northeastern storm, a debacle the board official said Friday.
"Ang Cagayan ngayon ay parang Pacific Ocean. Lahat ng mga munisipyo na tabi ng Cagayan River, ay baha ngayon. Grabe ang baha ngayon sa Cagayan, na-outperform niya 'yung past na baha nung 2019," Col. Ascio Macalan of Cagayan Provincial Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) told ABS-CBN's TeleRadyo.
Cagayan stream water at Buntun Bridge in Tuguegarao City arrived at 13 meters, as indicated by the commonplace government.
In 2019, extreme typhoon Quiel beat the region, bringing about 3 dead people and a great many uprooted inhabitants.
Macalan said the current calamity is more regrettable since in excess of 13,000 families or 47,000 occupants in Cagayan were seriously influenced by the floods brought about by Ulysses and the storm downpours.
"Ang sitwasyon namin dito ngayon ay kakaiba sa nangyari sa nakaraan ng taon," he said.
Macalan said a huge number of inhabitant in the region need protecting, calling for boats and other gliding resources for salvage tasks.
