Philippines, Flooding in Bulacan (Region III)

On 21 April 2026, Metro Manila and the rest of the country experienced partly cloudy

to occasionally cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the

easterlies. These conditions posed risks of flash floods and landslides, particularly

during severe thunderstorms.

On the same day, elevated sea levels during high tide, combined with localized

thunderstorms, caused flooding in low-lying and coastal areas across several

barangays in the municipality of Hagonoy, Bulacan.

In response, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through

its Field Office (FO) III, is closely coordinating with the Local Government Unit (LGU)

of Hagonoy, Bulacan and ensures the availability of relief assistance to address the

immediate needs of affected families and individuals for any relief augmentation

request.
