At late afternoon yesterday (June 5, 2008), I became witness of the biggest flood in Miral History. Affected areas are those in the riverbank of Bugak, Cosmos St. Carnation St. The water reached also Villa Doneza and some parts of the public market.
I assisted the emergency rescue, I was the one who opened the ABC gym to accomodate the evacuees. The first to arrive in the area were group of elderly women, young mother with her new born; and group of children. My heart was moved with pity hearing their remarks that they have not saved their properties because all were taken by the flood.
The Local Government Unit of Bansalan headed by Hon. Mayor Edwin G. Reyes had declared State of Calamity the other day in view of the price of rice. Unfornately, the flood is another calamity. When I went back to the Gym last night, I saw the Mayor with some of the elected officials assisting the distribution of foods and clothes to the flood victim. Last year , Bansalan encountered the same calamity for a couple of times. But yesterday's flood was worst than before.
