Damage to crops of Tropical Depression Ramon

The Iloilo Provincial Agriculture Office (PAO) is monitoring the damage to crops of Tropical Depression "Ramon."

Iloilo PAO chief Dr. Ildefonso Toledo said that he was asking the municipal agriculture officers to submit their reports for proper action.

Dr. Toledo said so far, Estancia, Balasan and San Dionisio towns have already reported the damage to their crops.

He also said that Ajuy town reported that "Ramon" did not incur damage to its crops.

Dr. Toledo said they monitored that in Estancia, Balasan and San Dionisio towns, floods damaged rice crops in various stages, some of which on vegetative stage while others were on reproductive stage.

The PAO chief, however, did not give the number of hectares that have been placed under water or the amount of damage since they are still on the process of consolidating the reports.
