Majority of the 121 barangays in 11 towns
and cities directly affected by typhoon
Sendong are still without water or power as government workers scramble to restore water
supply while personnel from the Negros Oriental
Electric Cooperative II are re-establishing the toppled power lines.
Valencia for instance
resorted to water rationing
but many residents
complain that the distributed
water smelled bad.
Hence the residents are
buying bottled water to safeguard their health.
The town’s P35 million
water work’s system feeding
from seven sources
has been totally washed
out by the flood and landslides.
Anxiety plagued
the affected families after
talks spread that it will
take several weeks before
the electricity and water
supplies are restored.
