Two barangays in Hermosa, Bataan, Sto. Cristo and Almaden, experienced flooding on Sunday, 9 August, as heavy rains continued to affect the province.

"Para sa mga pamilyang nakakaranas na ng pagbaha o nasa lugar na kinakailangang lumikas, bukas po ang ating evacuation center sa Brgy. San Pedro," she said.
Adorable-Inton urged residents in affected areas to evacuate when necessary and prioritize the safety of their families. She also called on the public to remain vigilant and heed advisories and warnings from the local government.
