According to "24 Oras" Monday, Barangay Bucao in San Gabriel, La Union, was among the areas that were heavily impacted by the inclement weather, which left many homes devastated and caused a power outage in the neighborhood. "Nadaganan ng kahoy tapos 'yung iba, 'yung flooded po sila, we have a river kasi dito eh maraming residents sa area beside the river. Sila po 'yung victim ng baha," said Fr. Jonathan Obar, a Sanggunian member. "Nung humating-gabi na, lumakas yung ulan, lakas pa ng hangin, parang ipo-ipo na umiikot, lahat ng mga gamit naming sa loob, nabasa," said resident Magdalena Cariaga. In La Trinidad, Benguet, strawberry farmers suffered losses after their crops got damaged by the floods, while stores have been closed for almost a month due to the low number of tourists. "Kailangan ng bigas, wala rin benta kasi walang bisita," said Helen Hipol, a resident.

Bad weather affects supply of rice, other products in Itbayat, Batanes — PDRRMO
Severe weather conditions have affected the supply of rice and other products in Itbayat, Batanes, according to the provincial disaster risk reduction and management office (PDRRMO). In the report of GMA Regional TV's Cris Zuñiga in Balitanghali on Monday, the Batanes PDRRMO said that most of the supply of commodities in Itbayat come from Basco via air or sea. But the strong waves in the sea have become a challenge for delivering goods, the report added. The northernmost municipality of Itbayat has a population of around 2,900. Rains have persisted for more than two weeks in Batanes. Aside from rice, the weather condition has resulted in low stocks of corn, animal feeds and petroleum products, the report further said. The Philippine Air Force is expected to conduct a missionary flight to deliver relief goods to Basco. — Vince Angelo Ferreras/RF, GMA Integrated News
