ZAMBALES — Some P1.8 million worth of crops here were destroyed during the height of Tropical Storm “Falcon”, which caused flooding in different barangays.
A total of 89 families were also forced to evacuate from their homes.

These include the villages of San Miguel, Santiago, West Dirita and Angeles, all of San Antonio town; and Paco and Campo in Botolan.
