SUPER-TYPHOON “Reming” ravaged 1,324 houses in Magarao.
Few days after typhoon “Reming” hit Bicol Region, Msgr. Juan Buentiempo, parish priest of St. Anne Parish, Magarao, Camarines Sur, requested the parish pastoral council to conduct an immediate survey of damages in all barangays.
The breakdown of the totally damaged houses in 13 barangays are as follows: Ponong, 239; Carangcang, 169; San Isidro, 169; Sta. Lucia, 144; San Juan, 130; Bell, 93; San Francisco, 81; Monserrat, 72; San Pantaleon, 70; Casuray, 67; Sta. Rosa, 57; San Miguel, 23; and Sto. Tomas, 10.In addition, the parish hall and the two parish kindergarten classrooms were all unroofed.
This report was submitted to the Caceres Social Action Foundation, Inc. (CASAFI). The CASAFI then sent sacks of rice as donation. These and other relief goods from generous sponsors were soon gathered and distributed to the barangays. The typhoon has indeed left many damages on buildings, business establishments, and agricultural products. Around a thousand of people died and are still missing in Albay, particularly those who reside near the foot of Mt. Mayon due to the major mud flow and heavy flooding.
“Reming” reached signal number 4 according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on November 30, 2006. The height of the typhoon came in the afternoon of that day with its strong wind and heavy rains.
