A portion of a road in T’Boli, South Cotabato has collapsed following heavy rains.

The road is connecting the town to General Santos City.

Authorities closed the road temporarily and urged motorists to take the route on the national highway that connects General Santos City, Polomolok, and Koronadal City going to T’Boli town.

According to the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO), the road gave in following heavy rains since the previous days.

“Meron kasing parang bangin diyan kung saan kapag may malakas na ulan, may portion na nagla-landslide. So maliit din diyan yung ating road kaya medyo nasira, then lately, medyo malakas ang ulan, tuluyan na itong bumagsak,” PDRRM Officer, Rolly Doane Cuenca Aquino, said.

The Department of Public Works and Highways-SOCCSKSARGEN (DPWH-12) is set to repair the road.
