"Wala namang damage kasi mahina 'yung bagyo. Kinabahan lang kami dun sa pagpapawala ng dam. Nung nagpawala naman ng dam wala naman epekto sa Cagayan River. Naapektuhan lang mga overflow bridge na medyo hindi passable," he told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo.

(There's not much damage because the storm was weak. We were just nervous about the dam releasing water. When it did, it had not effect on Cagayan River, only overflow bridges which became unpassable.)
