Weeks of strong rains and back-to-back storms have left Pangasinan reeling, with damage to agriculture and infrastructure now approaching P1 billion, according to provincial disaster officials.

The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO) reported that agricultural losses have reached over P448 million, while damage to infrastructure stands at P481 million. Losses in the livestock sector are also estimated at more than P3 million.

Following Typhoon #EmongPH, Western Pangasinan also continues to struggle with power and communication outages. Restoration efforts are underway.

“Nagpo-formulate tayo ng recovery and rehabilitation plan. Ongoing ‘yung rapid damage assessment and analysis,” Avenix Arenas, Assistant DRRM Officer for Pangasinan, said.

As of July 30, 2025, at least 14 areas across the province remain flooded, including many parts of Dagupan City.

“Ang nakikita ko, parang kalahati pa ng 31 barangays. ‘Yun ‘yung mga nasa malapit sa river system natin,” Melykhen Bauzon, head of Dagupan’s City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, said.

In Dagupan, AB Fernandez Avenue is now passable, but floodwaters remain high along Burgos Street and its extension, making it difficult for smaller vehicles to cross.

Meanwhile, along Mayombo-Caranglaan Road, light vehicles also struggle to pass through deep floodwaters, prompting traffic enforcers to assist.

“’Yung mga dumadaan dito, i-guide namin sa kaliwa o kanan,” POSEO enforcer Alejandro Alon said.

“Malalim. Alanganin ako. Mahirap masira ang motor,” Ricardo Dela Cruz, a tricycle driver, said.

Authorities remain on alert as rains continue to fall across the province.
