What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A flood wall collapsed in San Mateo on October 2, 2026, with a 50-meter portion giving way. Other structures were also damaged, including a 30-meter portion of the Lacquios dike and multiple fissures in the Mandasig flood wall, which was eroding due to the Pampanga River. Vince Dizon inspected the area while a Task Force began extracting sample sheet piles to test the structures' integrity and quality.
