Classes at a school in Buluan, Maguindanao del Sur were suspended on Monday, September 15, 2025, due to flooding.

Datu Idon S’pi Elementary School in Barangay Poblacion remained flooded on Monday following heavy rains on Sunday, September 14.

In Zamboanga del Sur, flooding caused heavy traffic on some roads in Barangay Camanga, Tungawan town morning on Monday.

However, motorists were forced to cross the flooded roads.

In Sultan Kudarat, several vehicles were stranded after gravel, rocks, and soil blocked a portion of the road in Little Baguio, Barangay Chua, Bagumbayan on Sunday.

The obstruction came from a portion of land on the hill that eroded and was carried by floodwaters due to the heavy rains.

The roads affected are already passable, as of this writing, after the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) conducted clearing operations.

Authorities are still assessing whether anyone was injured in the incident.

State weather bureau PAGASA said the rains experienced in these areas were caused by localized thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, several areas in Davao City were also flooded following heavy rains on Saturday.

The areas affected included Barangay Mintal, Bangkal in Barangay Talomo Proper, and Barangay Bankas Heights.

A rider and his motorcycle were carried away by raging floodwaters after attempting to cross the flooded road in Purok 10A, Barangay Mintal.

According to a resident in the area, the rider was rescued and his motorcycle was retrieved after the vehicle got caught on a rope.

“Maygani kay ang akong broiler, akong gihiktan ang iyang kulungan. Naa man koy pisi diha, gwapo mana nga pisi na, gibabag nako diha kay maanod man ang broiler nako. Nakatabang sa iyaha kay kung wala, nalukot siya anang alambre siguro, barbed wire,” a resident, Jaime Torrejano, said.

Aside from the floodwaters from higher areas, the water could no longer pass through the drainage canal because of the debris that blocked the newly constructed concrete bridge built by residents in the area.

“Ilang gihimo nga tulay, daghan siyang mga scaffolding sa ilalum. Mao na ang nga gapnod, dili maka sulod, barado siya. Mao to ang tubig nag-overflow,” Torrejano added.

Floodwaters also reached nearly waist-deep on Golden Shower Street and knee-deep on Mintal-Tugbok Road.

Several vehicles stalled after braving rushing floodwaters in Purok 20, San Roque.

A car was also submerged in floodwaters that reached above the knee in Phase 3, NHA, Bangkal.

In Barangay Bankas Heights, the water in Purok 7A Creek 1 reportedly overflowed. A preemptive evacuation was carried out in the area.

The flooding reportedly started past 7 p.m. and subsided around 11 p.m., allowing residents who evacuated to return home.

The local government also conducted clearing and cleanup operations immediately.

According to the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), the heavy rains brought about by the trough of the low pressure area (LPA) at that time caused several creeks to overflow.
