Heavy rain had been pounding the Davao Region on separate occasions this month, saturating the soil and making its provinces prone to flooding. On February 18, for instance, the neighboring Davao de Oro province saw heavy rain and rampaging floodwaters that destroyed the Naboc Bridge in the gold-rush town of Monkayo, said Hershey Cole, an operations staff at the Office of Civil Defense in the Davao Region.
In a public advisory, the provincial government of Davao de Oro said no one was hurt when the Naboc Bridge collapsed over the weekend. In the Davao Oriental, Governor Corazon Malanyaon said relief aid workers have so far distributed more than 40,000 food packs to residents of flood-stricken towns of Boston, Cateel, and Governor Generoso in the past few days. –
