Candon City Survives Pepeng Wrath

Like other provinces in Northern Luzon, typhoon Pepeng devastated the Candon City as it stayed for more than a week.

The city for a while was engulfed with water and at the mercy of the strong wind. After three strikes of Pepeng, it left behind millions of damages on properties.

Heading the list of damages were infrastructure and agriculture.

More than 100 individuals were evacuated at the city hall which served as the main evacuation area of the city.

The City Disaster Coordinating Council and the newly formed Emergency Response Team were the frontliners of monitor, rescue and relief operations.

Medical check ups were also provided at the city hall for the evacuees as many of them were children.

Candon City is prone to flooding because of the existence of two rivers, Bucong and Oaig Daya, that pass through the city.

Photos below are scene during Pepengs strike, rescue and monitoring operations and the medical check up done.
