By Sarwell Q. Meniano

TACLOBAN CITY, Dec. 19 (PNA) -- Incessant rains dumped over the weekend has caused landslide and flood that rendered some roads unpassable in Samar provinces until early Monday morning, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reported.

In a situationer report sent to media, the DPWH has monitored 11 landslides, rockslides and roadslips in three Samar provinces that blocked the highway. Floodings in 13 sections of national road have been reported, thus preventing traffic blow in some busy streets.

“The DPWH has been doing everything to clear the highway from landslide and rockslide debris in order to curb further disruption of traffic flow,” said DPWH Eastern Visayas Regional Director Edgar Tabacon.

Landslides, rockslides, and roadslips have been noted in road sections along Borongan to Guiuan, San Julian, Taft, Arteche to Taft in Eastern Samar; Calbayog-Allen, Calbayog-Catarman, Calbayog diversion road in Samar; Laoang-Catubig, Lapinig-Arteche, and Palapag-Mapanas-Gamay-Lapinig road in Northern Samar.

Highways submerged with floodwater were reported along road sections in Taft-Borongan in Eastern Samar; Calbayog City in Samar; Catarman-Calbayog, Lope de Vega, Catarman, Bobon, Mondragon, Laong-Catarman, Laoang-Catubig-Las Navas, Laong-Catubig, Lapinig-Arteche, and Palapag-Mapanas-Gamay-Lapinig in Northern Samar.

On Monday, the state weather bureau has raised flood warning for rivers in Oras, Dolores, Ulot, Taft, Borongan, Suribao, Llorento, Balangiga and Sulat in Eastern Samar due to northeast monsoon that will bring light to moderate rains

Other affected water courses are Catarman, Bugko, Pambujan, Catubig, Palapag, and Gamay in Northern Samar; Sangputan, Palo, Salano, Daguitan, Marabong, Cadacan, Bongquirogon, Salug, Pagbanagaran, Pagsangahan and Binahaan in Leyte; Bisay, Himbangan and Pandan in Southern Leyte; and Basey, Silaga, Calbiga, and Jibatan rivers in Samar.(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.
