Heavy rains from Typhoon Uwan have triggered widespread flooding across Pampanga province, submerging 72 barangays and affecting tens of thousands of residents, according to the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO).
Extent of Flooding Across Pampanga
The PDRRMO reported on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, that flooding has impacted 72 barangays across nine municipalities in Pampanga. The disaster office confirmed that a total of 64,081 families or 183,921 individuals have been affected across 158 barangays throughout the province.
Floodwaters ranging from one to five feet deep were documented, caused by a combination of high tide conditions, the overflow of the Pampanga River, and backflow from upstream areas. The situation was further aggravated by water draining from higher elevation locations.

Macabebe town suffered the most severe impact with 18 barangays flooded, affecting approximately 27,634 families or 88,876 individuals. Masantol followed closely with 14 barangays submerged and 19,952 families or 60,915 individuals affected.
Other severely affected areas include Candaba with 10 flooded barangays, Sasmuan with eight barangays underwater, and San Fernando City with seven villages experiencing flooding. The municipalities of Apalit, Minalin, Guagua, and San Simon also reported significant flooding in multiple barangays.
Evacuation and Damage Assessment
The PDRRMO disclosed that 6,986 individuals from 2,029 families are currently taking shelter in 158 evacuation centers established across the province. An additional 801 individuals or 202 families have sought temporary refuge outside designated evacuation areas.
Property damage has also been reported in Arayat town, where two houses were completely destroyed and 13 homes sustained partial damage due to the severe weather conditions brought by Typhoon Uwan.
Emergency response teams continue to monitor the situation and provide assistance to affected communities as Pampanga battles one of the most significant flooding events in recent months.
