Heavy rainfall inundated at least 56 barangays in Iloilo City and 11 barangays in Jordan town, Province of Guimaras.

Among residents affected by the flooding is Edna Adudes of Barangay Sooc, Arevalo District, Iloilo City.

Adudes said she could not sleep at all bothered by the ill effects of heavy rain from afternoon to evening on October 7, 2025.

“As in ang lakas ng ulan. Ang aking attire nakabota pa ako ngayon. Pag-uwi ko, hindi ako makakayapak, hindi ako makasuot ng shoes kasi mababasa,” Adudes said.

Based on data from the Iloilo City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), 56 of 180 city barangays were flooded. Sixteen are in the City Proper, five in Jaro, nine in Lapaz, seven in Mandurriao, and 11 in Molo.

As of this writing, floodwater in 48 areas has receded reportedly.

Meanwhile, a video showed raging water in Jordan, Guimaras because of the downpour.

In another video, a tricycle was moving slowly in Barangay Poblacion due to the high level of floodwater. The other motorists did not pursue their trips.

According to Jordan Municipal DRRMO, 11 of 14 barangays were flooded but subsided morning on October 8, 2025.

“Ang ating areas na major na lumakas ang baha dito sa Poblacion na area. Kasama na dyan ang front ng munisipyo, Rizal na area, Hoskyn, at ang Morobuan,” Aida Gallos, head of Jordan MDRRMO, said.

In Barangay 6, Victorias City, Negros Occidental, over 20 residents were evacuated due to flooding. After several hours,the water subsided. The evacuees returned to their residences.

According to Victorias City DRRMO, a swollen river and clogged drainage were among factors that led to the swift rise in floodwater.

State weather bureau PAGASA said that with the onset of Amihan (northeast monsoon) which brings cool winds, rains are still expected especially in the afternoon and evening due to the thunderstorm activity especially in Capiz, Aklan, and northern Iloilo.

“Frequent pa rin na pag-ulan depende sa ating weather system. And also, bumaba rin ang weather temperature natin since ang Amihan natin, ito ang hangin na mula sa China na patungo dito sa atin sa Pilipinas,” said Jeff Maquiling, PAGASA Iloilo weather forecaster.
