TRACTOR ROAD Residents of Dagupan City rely on the \u201ckuliglig,\u201d or tractor, for transportation on a flooded street.\u2014WILLIE LOMIBAO<\/p><\/div>\n\n

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO \u2014 The number of flooded villages in Central Luzon increased to 156 on Wednesday after the southwest monsoon, two tropical depressions and a tropical storm whipped up rains and winds across the region for close to three weeks.<\/p>\n\n

At least 94 villages in Pampanga province were submerged in a foot to four feet of water as swollen rivers in Tarlac, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan provinces drained to the Pampanga River.<\/p>\n\n

Pampanga Gov. Lilia Pineda urged Public Works Secretary Mark Villar on Wednesday to start dredging the silted mouth of the Pampanga River.<\/p>\n\n

Floods and strong rains and waves displaced 561,969 people in Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales.<\/p>\n\n

At least 15,240 people moved to evacuation centers.<\/p>\n\n

Floodwaters and landslides swept or buried 19 houses and damaged 168 others.<\/p>\n\n

Floodwaters scoured a dike in Barangay Balanti in Tarlac City, with damages estimated at P20 million.<\/p>\n\n

A slope along the national highway in San Antonio town in Zambales eroded.<\/p>\n\n

Schools reopen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

On Wednesday, most schools in the region resumed classes, except those in seven towns and cities.<\/p>\n\n

Sections of 11 roads and two bridges were not passable in Pampanga and Tarlac on Wednesday due to floods.<\/p>\n\n

Floods also destroyed rice and vegetable crops, with damages initially estimated at P412.3 million, mostly in Tarlac.<\/p>\n\n

As of Wednesday, the regional disaster risk reduction and management council said local governments had declared a state of calamity in the towns of Paombong and Marilao in Bulacan, La Paz, Ramos and Victoria in Tarlac, Masantol in Pampanga, and Licab in Nueva Ecija.<\/p>\n\n

Latest fatality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In Pangasinan province, a second fatality had been reported.<\/p>\n\n

Darius Carcamo, 20, died from a snake bite on Monday while he was inspecting his flooded farm at Barangay Poponto in Bautista town, according to the provincial disaster risk reduction and management office.<\/p>\n\n

On July 20, Ailene Isidro Sison, 20, was killed after she was swept by strong current as she crossed a creek in Mangatarem town.<\/p>\n\n

As of Wednesday, floodwaters in many towns had receded and roads were passable again to light vehicles.<\/p>\n\n

But Calasiao town and Dagupan City remained under water, with thousands of residents still in evacuation centers.<\/p>\n\n

Since last week, more than 1,000 evacuees had been staying in Calasiao gymnasium while 1,000 people had sought shelter in Dagupan City astrodome. \u2014Reports from Tonette Orejas and Gabriel Cardinoza<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
