Thousands of homes are impacted by flood in the northern Philippines.

After intense rainfall and a dam breach, rivers in the storm-hit northern Philippines flooded on Tuesday, submerging thousands of houses under waters reaching up to four meters high. Thousands of homes are impacted by flood in the northern Philippines.

The northern Philippines saw hundreds of houses submerged under floodwaters on Monday due to a major river overflowing its banks from water released by a dam following Typhoon Man-yi.

The Philippines was hit by its sixth major storm in a month, which brought heavy rain, destroyed weak buildings, caused power outages, and resulted in the deaths of at least eight people.

The national weather service had predicted a “potentially catastrophic” outcome from Super Typhoon Man-yi, but President Ferdinand Marcos stated on Monday that the impact “was not as severe as anticipated”.

Jun Montereal, head of Ilagan city’s disaster preparedness committee, warned that the city could be wiped out by flooding if Magat Dam keeps releasing water from all seven gates, with around 500 houses already flooded, as reported by AFP.

“This typhoon has caused one of the most serious occurrences we’ve ever faced.”

Carlo Ablan, in charge of monitoring dam operations, mentioned that water was discharged following a large amount of rainfall from Man-yi.

Ablan said that if water is not released, the dam could collapse, causing a larger issue.

Police reported that at least eight individuals lost their lives due to typhoon Man-yi hitting the islands last weekend, with one of the victims being a 79-year-old man in Camarines Norte who died when his motorcycle got entangled in a power line.

According to Kristine Falcon of the provincial disaster agency, a landslide engulfed a house in Nueva Vizcaya province in Luzon, resulting in the death of seven individuals and injuring three others.

According to AFP, the province of Catanduanes could experience extended power outages for months due to the damage caused by Typhoon Man-yi to electricity poles, as reported by provincial information officer Camille Gianan.

Gianan stated that Catanduanes has suffered extensive damage from the typhoon and emphasized the need for food packs, hygiene kits, and construction materials.

Many houses made of lightweight materials were leveled, while a few concrete houses had their roofs, doors, and windows damaged.

Clean-up efforts were being conducted in Baler, a coastal town in Aurora province, to clear away fallen trees and debris obstructing roads and water passages.

“We anticipate significant damage on many houses in town even before the inspection, as most of the houses here are constructed using lightweight materials,” disaster officer Neil Rojo informed AFP.

Reports have also come in about roofs being lifted by the wind last night. It was not the heavy rain that frightened us, but rather the strong wind.

Man-yi lost strength while crossing the Luzon mountains and was reclassified as a severe tropical storm as it moved towards Vietnam across the South China Sea on Monday.
