QUEENIE’S ONSLAUGHT

Published

After making landfall in Surigao del Sur, tropical depression Queenie crossed Central Philippines last Thursday, ravaging southern Cebu along the way. Queenie caused fallen trees, landslides, and significant rise in river water levels, flooding many houses, schools and other infrastructures in south Cebu.

Report said heavy floods in Malabuyoc town washed out three houses killing one adult, 50-year-old Alona Baldado, resident of Barangay Poblacion 1. Cebu Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (PDRRM) Officer Baltazar Tribunalo, Jr. felt saddened by the loss of Baldado’s life.

He said Barangay Poblacion 1 officials were not able to fully prepare because it was their first time to experience such strong typhoon. Tribunalo said such death could have been avoided if the local government unit implemented a forced evacuation of residents in the said area.
