PILI, CAMARINES SUR, Jan.06 (PIA) Nearly 300 families were forced to leave their homes on New Year’s Eve when the tail-end of a cold front brought continuous rainfall that inundated and swamped low-lying areas in most parts of Camarines Sur.
Greatly affected were residents of Sipocot, Libmanan, Sagñay, Ocampo, Canaman, Buhi and Nabua. The unprecedented rise of flood water pushed the reluctant residents to finally leave the safe confines of their homes and move to higher and safer grounds.
Some of them stayed in designated evacuation centers while others stayed in private houses to ensure their safety.
