"We are happy to note that we did not record casualties. We call the Dabawenyos to remain on high alert for possible flooding incidents," CDRRMO head Alfredo Baloran said in an advisory. However, he reported that a landslide occurred and affected a two-lane road at Sitio Malapangi, Barangay Malabog, rendering the road not passable to any types of vehicles. "We are still in La Nina season. This may extend to April. We would like to remind everyone to always be alert because we may experience localized thunderstorms with LPA (low pressure area) near Davao city that brings heavy rains," Baloran said. He also added that this warning also extends to those who are living in landslide-prone areas. Meanwhile, the City Social Services and Development Office (CSWDO) has also dispatched its mobile kitchen to serve hot meals to around 2,322 families who evacuated to safe grounds on Monday night when major rivers swelled and drenched residential areas due to heavy rains.

Mayor Sara Duterte (Facebook / MANILA BULLETIN) Duterte said the local government has decided to prohibit residential structures along the banks of Davao River, Lipadas River, Lasang River, Matina Pangi River, and Talomo River due to the constant threat posed each time these waterways swell. “We want to protect human lives from any incident along the rivers,” she said in her interview over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR 87.5). She said that several residents in the city’s riverside communities have voluntarily demolished their houses after they were informed by local government of the risks. “Several Dabawenyos readily accepted the explanation of our team on our basis why it is prohibited, what is the possible impact if anything happens to the rivers. Many of them readily demolished their structures, although there are few who resisted. So, we have to demolish their structures,” she said.
