Flooding and Landslides Hit Visayas and Mindanao

Heavy Rains Cause Flooding and Landslides in the Philippines Parts of the Visayas and Mindanao regions in the Philippines were hit hard by heavy rainfall on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, resulting in significant flooding and landslides. The GMA Regional TV news report showed dramatic footage of landslides blocking roads and homes partially submerged in floodwaters. One resident, whose home was threatened by a landslide, stated, "The land is falling down, and our house is in danger!" In Negros Occidental, floodwaters reached thigh-level in some areas due to overflowing rivers. While no injuries were reported, residents in affected areas faced significant challenges, with roads blocked, making transportation difficult. The heavy downpours were attributed to a combination of a low pressure area and localized thunderstorms. Despite the challenges, local communities are working together to assess the damage and support those affected.
