Alibayon High School principal Jessie Posadas said the river overflowed and flooded the low lying areas, including school campuses, affecting their students on their way home after classes. Most of the affected students were residents of Barangays Alibayon, Del Pilar and Lower Kauswagan, he said. The village officials immediately rushed to the area to secure the school children and prevented them from crossing the flooded river. When the water subsided around 4 p.m., the village officials loaded the stranded students and parents to a multicab and crossed the river safely. Police Captain Rolando Dillera, Magpet chief of police, said no one was hurt by the flooding in the three barangays.
