The vehicles were stranded after a landslide occurred in Dalaguete, Cebu.
DALAGUETE – A landslide leaving not less than ten (10) vehicles stranded happened in Dalaguete Town in Southern Cebu, Wednesday.
Based on a recent news report in SunStar Cebu, the nonstop rain which visited a part of Cebu was the cause of the landslide which stuck several vehicles along Ablayan-Maluray road.
It was around 4:00 in the morning today when the landslide happened. A 55-year-old woman identified as Clara Amamangpang was left hurt by the incident.
The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) has already confirmed that as of 11:00 in the morning, the road was already freed from obstruction.
Speaking to the PIA, Dalaguete Information Officer Rydal Cisneros expressed that if the weather condition will not improve, landslide may happen.
According to the report, the PIA said that there are still responders in Sitio Canlawilao, Barangay Dumalan. They are in the area for safety purposes.
Several people took to social media photos of the incident. Netizen Royce Nikko shared on Facebook a photo taken during the road clearing and as well as a close up photo of the landslide.
About two hours after, the said Facebook user posted again on the social media. Based on the caption, “large scale landslide” happened from “Brgy. Dumalan road to Brgy. Ablayan” which made it unavailable for passage.
Usually, most especially in the mountainous areas, landslide is an inevitable incident. It often occurs when heavy rains continuously pour for several hours or days softening the soil.
Everyone should really be alert when it heavy rains visit an area as it can lead to other incidents such as landslide and flood.
It is really a lot different when the people are prepared as the injuries and the shortages that the calamity or incident would supposedly affect can be prevented or reduced.
