Bad weather forces Marcos to skip flood-hit Oroquieta during Misamis visit Full story:
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Bad weather forced President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to skip his visit to flood-devastated Oroquieta City, but he proceeded to distribute aid to flood victims in another area in Misamis Occidental and then Misamis Oriental on Wednesday, January 11.in the two Misamis provinces on Christmas Eve that the government would help them rebuild.
Families who lost their homes for good due to the floods would be moved to government resettlement sites, he promised. Classes were also suspended due to continuous rain and threats of flooding in the Misamis Occidental towns of Aloran, Jimenez, Clarin, Sinacaban, Tudela, Panaon, Plaridel, and Lopez Jaena.
The President settled for Tudela town after his plane landed at the Labo Airport in Gango, Ozamiz City, in the same province, where he distributed financial aid and relief goods to flood victims. “We need to think about long-term solutions,” said the President, noting that many areas not known to be flood-prone before were among the worst affected by the recent widespread flooding in Northern Mindanao.
The Misamis Oriental capitol said the floods and landslides damaged some P443 million in infrastructure, and agricultural losses reached nearly P50 million in the province.
