At least 129 families or 393 individuals were evacuated from their homes as Typhoon Paolo battered this province on Friday (Oct. 3)
According to Rolex Estella, head of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (PDDRMC), the evacuees are residents from low-lying areas or near riverbanks who left their homes during the pre-emptive evacuation.
The evacuees are from the seven towns in the province (San Antonio, San Narciso, Cabangan, Botolan, Iba, Palauig and Masinloc) who are now taking shelter in respective evacuation centers of their towns.
Estella said the said figures were recorded as of 6 p.m and they are still awaiting reports from other affected towns in the province
