The Philippine government has deployed additional mobile submersible pumps in Mandaue to address ongoing flooding, according to a recent report. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is working closely with local authorities to manage the situation, which has been exacerbated by recent heavy rains. The deployment of these pumps aims to accelerate water removal from affected areas and restore normalcy to residents.
The government has also requested additional equipment from the national government to support flood mitigation efforts. Local officials have expressed concern over the prolonged flooding, which has disrupted daily life and damaged infrastructure. The situation in Mandaue remains critical, with many households still without access to clean water and electricity.
Emergency services continue to monitor the situation closely, while community leaders urge residents to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines. The DPWH has emphasized the need for coordinated efforts between local and national agencies to ensure a swift recovery. (.Ph)
