CEBU and Metro Cebu localities were hit by severe floods that reached up to 1.2m in some areas following hours of heavy rain.

The excessive rainfall and heaps of garbage that clog drainage systems contributed to the severe flooding that submerged many parts of this city on Thursday night, which, authorities said, was the worst flood here since Typhoon Odette, or known internationally as Rai, inundated and devastated Metro Cebu in December 2021.
