The Philippine Air Force conducted aerial reconnaissance on Tuesday on the ricefields of Bayambang, Pangasinan and Camiling in Tarlac.

Sokol choppers from the 505th Search and Rescue Group flew over the massive flooding caused by tropical cyclone “Lando” (international name Koppu) in the said ricefields. The Air Force team was not able to fly over Wallace in La Union due to bad weather.

Floods in several villages were caused by the rising water levels in Agno River Basin.

During its peak as a typhoon, Lando slammed into Aurora early Sunday and then dumped heavy rains in Nueva Ecija later in the day.
