The San Marcelino Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), however, reported no evacuations, casualties, damaged houses or landslides in the municipality.
The MDRRMO also said major roads and bridges remained passable, while electricity and communication services were in service as of the report.
