MANILA, Philippines — At least four spillway gates of Angat and Ipo Dams were opened to release excess water from the rains caused by existing weather systems, state hydrologists said on Thursday.
Senior hydrologist Elmer Caringal of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) told The Manila Times that two of the three control gates of Angat dam, in Norzagaray, Bulacan released water with an estimated outflow of 249.18 centimeters (cms).
