Strong waves caused by the southwest monsoon, intensified by #CarinaPH, hit Sitio Lagaan, Barangay Banawan, Pio Duran, Albay on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
Atan Ayocado, Barangay Councilman of Banawan, said many residents lost their homes due to large waves and sudden water level rises.
“Ilang bagyo at habagat ang lumipas ay di nila naranasan ang ganitong situasyon. Madaming residente ang nawalan at nasira ang bahay dahil sa laki ng mga alon at biglang taas ng tubig,” he said.
On July 24, residents worked together to save their livelihood equipment.
Residents are hopeful for much-needed assistance.
"Ano man na tulong para sa kanila ay malaking bagay na po para sa kanilang pagbangon," Ayocado said.
