BAGUIO CITY -- The
Department of Public Works and Highways in the Cordillera Administrative Region
reported some road closures due to landslides triggered by the rains brought by
Tropical Storm Paeng.
In Apayao, the Apayao-Ilocos Norte Road in Madatag, Kabugao town, and the Claveria-Calanasan Road in Calanasan town were closed to vehicular traffic because of landslides and unstable erosions along mountain slopes. The clearing operation was hampered by adverse weather conditions.
In Benguet, the Governor Bado Dangwa National Road and Congressman Andres Acop Cosalan Road was closed because of soil collapse.
In Ifugao, the Kiangan-Tinoc Road, Kiangan-Tinoc-Buguias Road, Banaue-Mayoyao-Alfonso Lista-Isabela Boundary Road and Ubao-Taang Road were closed due to landslides and mudflows.
In Kalinga, the Lubuagan-Batong Buhay-Abra Road, Mountain Province-Calanan-Pinukpuk-Abbut Road and the Balbalan-Pinukpuk Road were closed because of landslides.
The Baguio-Bontoc Road, Mountain Province-Cagayan via Tabuk-Enrile Road, and Talubin-Barlig-Natonin-Paracelis-Calaccad Road were also closed to traffic because of rock falls and landslides and road damage.
Meanwhile, a 62-year-old native from Kalinga is now the subject of a search and rescue operation by the Kalinga Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC). The local government unit is working with its town counterpart in Tuao, Cagayan to locate Severino Lumacday from Balbalan town, who went missing at the height of the onslaught of "Paeng."
According to initial reports from the Balbalan Municipal DRRM Office, Lumacday was hit by fallen rocks and was swept away into the creek leading to the Saltan River in Balbalan.
The Saltan River joins the Chico River and drains through Tuao, Cagayan.
Kalinga Gov. James Edduba requested the assistance of Tuao Mayor Francisco Mamba Jr. in informing all the villages near the Chico River banks within his town to assist Kalinga responders in looking for the 62-year-old victim.
In Ifugao, a motorcycle rider was declared dead on arrival at the Ifugao General Hospital on Friday afternoon after an accident at Sitio Ibulao, Baguinge in Kiangan town. The motorcycle of the rider who was not identified went out of control while traveling the rough and slippery road.
