Several areas in Cagayan de Oro City were hit by a flash flood following heavy rains on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.

The intense downpour triggered flooding in various barangays, submerging houses and stranding motorists.

A video captured by a netizen shows floodwaters surging through the streets at the Crossing Bolonsiri in Barangay Camaman-an.

Some vehicles were also seen being swept away by floodwaters. Other vehicles were also submerged.

The City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (CDRRMD) immediately deployed personnel to respond to the affected areas.

Residents in the low-lying areas were also evacuated. They eventually returned to their homes when the floodwaters subsided later in the evening.

The local government is still assessing the full extent of the damage.

“Wala pa gani mitaas ang tubig tua na sila naghulat na nagbantay na sila kung kinsa ang tagaan og higayon sa pagtabang nga mismo sa mga tawo nga nakakita sa ilaha adunay paglaum nga aduna diay gobyerno nga ilang malauman nga naa diay gobyerno nga wala sila talikdi ug biyae,” Mayor Rolando Uy said.

CDRRMD personnel also helped in cleaning the covered court in Barangay Camaman-an, while affected residents began clearing mud and debris from their flooded homes.

“Tan-awa karon o puno mi sa basura diri maayo unta naay hinabang nga muabot dinhi sa amo kay wala mi kaon diri,” affected resident, Maricel Ganinay, said.
