Mindanao Floods: Homes Inundated, Roads Impassable After Torrential Rains

Heavy Rains and Low-Pressure Area Cause Widespread Flooding in Mindanao, Philippines Parts of Mindanao experienced severe flooding on June 6, 2025, due to the combined effects of a low-pressure area (LPA) and the southwest monsoon, locally known as Habagat. The resulting heavy downpour caused significant disruption, rendering several roads impassable and flooding numerous homes. GMA Integrated News, the Philippines' leading news authority, captured footage of the devastation. "At dahil pa rin sa epekto ng LPA at Habagat, pinasok ng rumaragasang baha ang ilang bahay sa Mindanao," reported GMA News, highlighting the impact of the weather event. The video showed rushing floodwaters entering homes in Aleosan, Cotabato. In another location, a reporter described near-zero visibility due to the intensity of the rain. The flooding wasn't limited to Mindanao. Metro Manila also experienced heavy rain and traffic disruptions. Raffy Tima, a GMA News reporter, reported live from EDSA, describing slow-moving traffic and flooded streets. He warned motorists to exercise caution due to slippery road conditions. Despite the challenges, the resilience of the Filipino people shone through. Residents were seen working together to move belongings and navigate the flooded areas. The GMA report serves as a reminder of the power of nature and the importance of preparedness during severe weather events.
