In Naga City, residents have been stranded for three days following a severe storm. The heavy rainfall caused significant traffic congestion, with motorists stuck in queues ranging from two to four kilometers on Maharlika Highway. While larger vehicles such as buses and trucks have been permitted to leave, smaller vehicles like cars and vans are unable to pass due to floodwaters reaching waist-deep in certain areas of Milaor. Those stranded are urgently requesting assistance as there is a shortage of supplies. Local agencies have begun providing aid, including water and other essentials. Students who were trapped in the flood have also been rescued with the help of the local government unit (LGU). Despite the challenges, rescue teams continue to work diligently to provide relief to those affected by the situation. The overall atmosphere is one of urgency and need, as many people struggle with the lack of provisions and facilities. President Marcos has emphasized the importance of delivering medication and essential goods to those in need during this crisis.
