CANDABA – Several residents here
had intercepted logs from the Pampanga River following the abrupt increase of
its water level which resulted to flash floods in neighboring communities.
These logs came from the
provinces located in the upstream after they experienced heavy rains brought about by bad
weather condition.
“HInaharang po namin sa ilog yung
kahoy na pwedi pang pakinabangan. Wala din naman kaming ginawa kaya dito na
lang kami sa tulay naghihintay ng mga naaanod na punong kahoy at ibang pang mahahalagang
bagay,” Nestor Gaviola, a resident here said.
Gaviola added that some of the logs intercepted in the
river are in good conditions. In fact, he said, they can use the same in the
repair of their houses after rainy season.
Meanwhile, the flash floods came midnight Saturday which caught the residents
unprepared.
“Nagulat na lamang kami mabilis
ang dating ng tubig bandang alas dose ng madaling araw kaya ang mga tao
nagmamadaling magtaas ng gamit sa kanilang mga bahay. At yung mga may sasakyan
ay nagmamadaling dalhin ang mga ito sa
mas ligtas ng lugar,” Jonathan Manalastas,
a resident in Barangay San Agustin said.
Manalastas explained that they
are ready for the usual floodwater as high as fifteen feet but not with flash floods.
