PIGAWAYAN, North Cotabato, Philippines \u2013 Hundreds of commuters were stranded for at least five hours when the national highway was submerged in floodwater on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n

Senior Inspector Donald Cabigas, the town\u2019s chief of police, said the Manuangan River overflowed and floodwater rushed to the national highway, leaving light vehicles and passengers stranded.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe flood water is too strong that only huge vehicles can pass the highway,\u201d Cabigas said.<\/p>\n\n

Residents in low-lying villages have also evacuated, seeking refuge in relatives’ homes and village halls.<\/p>\n\n

Cabigas said no one was reported hurt in the flashflood, which started to subside before Sunday noon.<\/p>\n\n

Mayor Herminio Roquero, who rushed to the flooded areas, instructed the Municipal Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Council (MDRRMC) to validate the extent of flood damage for possible assistance.<\/p>\n\n

Torrential rains were also experienced in the towns of Mlang, Tulunan, Matalam and Kidapawan City in the past two days.<\/p>\n\n

The state weather agency said the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) hovering over in Mindanao and some parts of the Visayas caused the moderate to heavy rains in Mindanao.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
