Mindanao Floods: Motorists Stranded, PAGASA Warns of More Rain

Mindanao Floods Strand Motorists as PAGASA Warns of Potential Low-Pressure Area Heavy rainfall across Mindanao, Philippines, has caused widespread flooding, stranding motorists and inundating homes. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has issued a warning about a potential low-pressure area forming in the coming days, adding to the concerns of residents. In Bukidnon, several motorists were stranded for over an hour due to overflowing rivers, according to the report. "The river overflowed, flooding the national highway in San Fernando, Bukidnon," a local resident stated. The flooding also affected Sultan Kudarat, where several homes were flooded, and Davao City, where drivers continued their routes despite knee-high floodwaters. PAGASA's forecast indicates a high chance of rain in many parts of the country in the coming days. While the immediate threat of a typhoon is low, the potential low-pressure area and ongoing rainfall pose a significant risk of further flooding and landslides. The situation highlights the need for preparedness and vigilance during the rainy season in the Philippines.
