Gatchalian visits Cagayan, Isabela for Senate probe

SEN. Sherwin Gatchalian conducted site inspections in Cagayan and Isabela provinces on Friday in preparation for a Senate investigation on the massive flooding that destroyed thousands of homes, infrastructure and agricultural crops.

Gatchalian, vice chairman of the Senate economic affairs committee, said he wanted to personally ascertain the damage left behind by 6-foot floods that until now have only gradually subsided in towns of Cagayan province and some parts of Isabela. The site inspection is ahead of the scheduled Senate inquiry.
