CANDABA - The floodwater "is in and out" in the low lying communities in the coastal municipalities along Pampanga
River despite a fine weather for few days.
This
holds true as dams in neighboring provinces and other allied water
reservoir connected to Pampanga River are continuously discharging a
certain amount of volume of water.
The Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) recently issued a bulletin saying that Rico
Chico River in Nueva Ecija overflowed and the same resulted to 3-feet
to 4-feet floodwater in the majority barangays of Cabanatuan City.
Thus,
Nueva Ecija being in the upstream of Pampanga River, the OCD claimed
that municipalities along the river could expect rise in water level
within 24 hours.
Among
the towns in the 4th district that could be possibly affected with the
immidiate rise of water level in Pampanga River were Candaba, San
Luis, San Simon, Apalit, Macabebe, Minalin and Masantol.
"Ang
kaibahan ngayon lubog ang lahat ng bayan malapit sa ilog kaya yung
tubig baha ay mabagal ang pag atras wala ng pupuntahan. Kaya pagdating
ng tubig mula sa itaas ay agad tumataas ang tubig baha sa atin," a
resident from Candaba town stated.
It was learned that a dam in Bustos Bulacan is also releasing water directly affecting Baliuag which later on drains to some of the barangays
in Candaba towns particularly those in the tagalog region.
Pantabangan Dam is not releasing water in the meantime
