It was the second such flooding since New Year’s Day when torrential rains also caused flooding in four localities in the province that affected 15,000 families.
According to the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), Friday’s rainfall was caused by a low-pressure area and combined effects of the tail-end of a frontal system.
