As of Sunday noon, July 12, 2026, some 19 barangays in the municipalities of Macabebe and Masantol in Pampanga were flooded due to the combined effects of Typhoon "Inday," the enhanced southwest monsoon, high tide, and upstream water, according to the Pampanga Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO).
Flooding in Macabebe
Nine barangays in Macabebe experienced flooding ranging from 1 to 3 feet deep. The affected villages were Batasan, Caduang Tete, Candelaria, Mataguiti, San Francisco, San Roque, Sto. Niño, Saplad David, and Tacasan. The PDRRMO attributed the flooding to high tide.
Flooding in Masantol
In Masantol town, 10 barangays were inundated with floodwaters measuring 1 to 2 feet. These were Alauli, Bagang, Balibago, Nigui, Sagrada, Sapang Kawayan, San Isidro Anac, San Nicolas, Bebe Anac, and Palimpe. The PDRRMO said the flooding was caused by high tide, continuous monsoon rains, and the volume of water flowing from upstream.
Road Closures and Evacuations
The report also said the Sta. Lucia–San Nicolas Road in Masantol was not passable to light vehicles and remained under continuous monitoring. The PDRRMO noted that a resident in Barangay San Miguel, San Simon remained in an evacuation center as of 11 a.m. Sunday. No suspension of classes and other incidents were reported.
Ongoing Monitoring
The PDRRMO said its operations center remains activated while disaster response teams continue monitoring conditions and coordinating with local disaster risk reduction offices across Pampanga.
