ALBAY PROVINCE – Mayor Krisel Lagman-Luistro anticipates no electricity until December in the province due to the effects of Typhoon Rolly.

Last weekend, Typhoon Rolly hits the country and causes devastation in different regions. The tropical cyclone displaced thousands of residents and damaged numerous properties and establishment.

Rolly is considered as the world’s strongest storm this year and the most powerful typhoon to hit the country since Super Typhoon Yolanda hits the Philippines in 2013. The weather disturbance also triggers floods and landslides.
