Parts of Luzon experience waist-deep flooding

Parts of Luzon were flooded due to Tropical Storm Pepito, which made landfall in Casiguran, Aurora, on Tuesday night, October 20.

Heavy rains brought by Pepito caused flooding in affected areas as early as Monday, October 19.

Floodwaters damaged schools and homes in several areas in Quezon, including Calauag town and Barangay Rosario in the municipality of Lopez where floodwaters rose to waist level.

Heavy rains caused a concrete wall to collapse at the Siain Elementary School in Buenavista, Quezon, on Monday.

Sumulong Elementary School in Calauag town was again flooded. It was just starting to recover from the damage brought by Tropical Depression Ofel on October 14.

Farmlands were also damaged.

In an interview with Rappler, Joel Velasco Mabuti, a farmer from Isabela, shared how his rice field was damaged by Pepito. He also urged the government to help farmers like himself who are reeling from low rice prices.
