What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Southern Marinduque, including Buenavista, was identified as having the province's most vulnerable areas to drought. This vulnerability stems from these municipalities receiving less rainfall than northern areas. In response, officials processed a P500,000 request for drought-resistant seeds and allocated P500,000 for veterinary services. The Provincial Engineering Office is also inventorying water sources across Marinduque to identify emergency supply points.
