Super Typoon Pepeng (international name Parma) has wrecked havoc to most part of Pangasinan and our municipality is unfortunately among the towns affected. Pepeng’s heavy rains stressed and later on destroyed portions of the dike along the Banila River which caused flooding in barangays near the dike. Continuous rains made almost all water channels, especially canals, to swell and overflow which further flooded barangays that are nowhere near the Banila River including the town proper. The floods destroyed roads and road shoulders, eroded bridge foundations and approaches, destroyed numerous houses and properties, isolated some barangays, damaged large amounts of soon to be harvested crops and ultimately caused four casualties. All in all, the ordeal affected an approximately eight thousand six hundred ninety nine (8,699) families in forty five barangays (listed below are the barangays affected with corresponding number of affected households). There were no electricity and telephone lines were likely disabled for more than a week still due to the rampage of Super Typhoon Pepeng.
