MANILA, Philippines – Thousands of families sought refuge in evacuation centers following the massive flash floods and landslides in Cagayan province on Saturday, December 7. 

This came as a result of the combined effects of the northeast monsoon and the tailend of a cold front affecting Northern Luzon on Thursday night, December 5, which brought heavy rains over Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Norte, and Aurora. 

Cagayan Governor Manuel Mamba appealed for help as a state of calamity was declared in his province on Friday, December 6. (READ: IN PHOTOS: Floods hit several towns in Cagayan
