This is after the floodwaters in these provinces rose rapidly even after typhoon Ulysses left the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Most blamed the release of water on the Magat Dam because it had almost reached the spilling level.
During a meeting between President Duterte, several cabinet members, and Cagayan officials including Governor Manuel Mamba, they discussed the issue of deforestation and climate change, which are said to be a major cause of the province’s catastrophe.
President Duterte ordered the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu to have an audit of small-scale mining in Cagayan.
Mining is said to be one of the possible causes of widespread flooding in the area. The President is also investigating illegal logging in the area.
Some cabinet members also proposed dredging the Cagayan River to deepen it.
According to the government, the damage to infrastructure and households, and property in Cagayan is almost P6 billion with 69 people fatalities.
