CANDABA -- More than 430 houses from different barangays in this town were partially damaged by strong wind brought about by Typhoon Santi Saturday night.
Cresecita Fidelino, Municipal Social Welfare and Development (MSWD) officer-in-charge, reported that two other houses from Barangays Bambang and Mangga were destroyed.
She said at least 300 houses in barangays Cuayang Bugtong and Mandili were damaged as Santi started bombarding the province particularly this town with its strong winds.
In Barangay Barangca, 80 families were temporarily displaced as the typhoon destroyed the roofs of their houses.
As this developed, Mayor Rene Maglanque ordered Fidelino to account all the damaged houses and identify the families affected for possible assistance from the Municipal Government.
He also assured the affected families that the Municipal Government will be helping them in any capacity that is within their authority.
"Pinapalista na natin kung sino sino ang mga nasiraan ng bahay at tutulungan natin sila," he said.
