RIZAL – In a bid to reach isolated barangays, clearing of roads and removal of piles of stinking garbage along the roadside in Cainta resumed Friday as local government personnel of the respective localities took advantage of the sunny weather. Transfer of evacuees from school buildings to barangay covered courts in Angono also resumed.

In Tanay, military and engineering personnel of the local government started trekking to the mountainous barangays of the town to start the clearing the roads of obstructions brought about by the landslide during the wrath of storm “Ondoy.”

Tanay Information Officer Bobet Caruan said the removal of the rocks and soil could pave the way for the easy entry of help to the still isolated mountain barangays of the town, where thousands of residents are believed to be affected.

Caruan could not give the estimated number of affected families in the upland barangays as no one has yet passed through the road leading to their communities since the landslide happened on September 26.

In Angono, police helped local government’s social workers in transferring evacuees from various public school buildings to their temporary evacuation sites located in six barangays of the town.

Students of the Angono National High School have been temporarily attending classes at the Angono Gymnasium as their school remains submerged in knee-deep flood waters.

In Cainta, payloaders and dump trucks which were borrowed from neighboring towns were used in cleaning major thoroughfares of the piles of garbage which has become not only an eyesore but a threat to the health of residence and passersby in the town.
