It’s been a stormy week due to Typhoon Florita, leaving various areas in Metro Manila submerged in floods every now and then. Up north, however, the damage has been way more severe.
In the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Cagayan Valley (Region II), Typhoon Florita has wreaked havoc across the provinces in the two regions. Several roads have already been rendered impassable due to floods, fallen trees, damaged pavements, rock falls, and landslides.
