Zamboanga Sibugay places 7 inundated villages under the state of calamity

IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay, Dec. 19 (PNA) – The provincial government on Monday placed under the state of calamity seven of the 27 barangays in the nearby town of Buug.

The seven barangays were inundated by flood brought about by three-day continuous heavy downpour spawned by inclement weather condition that hit the municipality over the weekend.

Governor Wilter Palma on Monday said that the flood had damaged hundreds of hectares of agricultural crops in Buug.

Placed under the state of calamity with the concurrence of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan were the villages of Talamimi; Talairan; Labrador; Poblacion; Manlin; Pulog; and, Pamintayan.

Palma said the seven barangays were isolated since the bridge along the Pamintayan provincial road had collapsed due to the flood.

The provincial road serves as the main access of the seven affected barangays to the town proper of Buug.

Palma said the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council has yet to assess the worth of properties and agricultural crops damaged during the flood.

The declaration of the state of calamity enables the local government to impose price ceiling on basic commodities based on Republic Act 10121 otherwise known as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act.

The declaration also enables the local government to reprogram funds for repair and safety upgrading of public infrastructures and the granting of no-interest loans by government financing or lending institutions. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
