\nILOILO CITY: Four municipalities in Iloilo are on the threshold of declaring a state of calamity due to the El Ni\u00f1o phenomenon.<\/p>\n

Cornelio Salinas, head of the Iloilo Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, identified the municipalities as Carles, Dumangas, Barotac Nuevo, and Anilao.<\/p>\n

He said Barotac Nuevo has already declared a state of calamity, but there are rectifications on the procedural process.<\/p>\n

The three other towns are still in the process of finetuning, he said in an interview Thursday.<\/p>\n

“By next week, probably they are already in that direction,” he said.<\/p>\n

Provincewide, as of March 11 data, their validated report showed losses of PHP422.6 million in rice, corn, and high-value crops.<\/p>\n

“Although our losses in crops are almost half a billion, there is a criterion. Very particular is that 30 percent of the livelihood is affected. The damage estimate is not enough to declare the state of calamity. There are other parameters,” he said.<\/p>\n

Further, he said that river-run waters in the prov
\nince are already at a critical level.<\/p>\n

“It means we already lack water to provide enough water for farmlands,” he said.<\/p>\n

These include the Suage River Irrigation System (RIS) dam, Sta Barbara diversion dam, Barotac Viejo RIS dam, Jalaur diversion dam, and Sibalom diversion dam.<\/p>\n
