Ormoc Tragedies

Ormoc Tragedies

Natural calamities like flash flood, Super Typhoon and earthquake experienced in Ormoc City, these calamities caused people’s death, and greatly damaged properties and infrastructure in the city. The Flashflood in Ormoc City happened on November 5, 1991. It was a typhoon so I just stayed at home I was surprised when I heard that there was a flash flood in the city and thousands of people suffered death.
