MANILA, Philippines – More roads and bridges in the Visayas and Mindanao are hardly or not at all passable to traffic due to obstructions and damages caused by Tropical Storm Seniang (international name: Jangmi).

In its latest bulleti, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said on Friday, December 31, that a total of 24 bridges and 23 roads are affected by landslides, flooding, collapsing, or scouring in bridge approaches.
