Angat, San Roque dams may release water if heavy rainfalls continue
Manila Bulletin
|September 25, 2025
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Wednesday, Sept. 24, warned that Angat and San Roque dams may release water if rains from Tropical Storm Opong (international name: Bualoi) concentrate over their catchment areas.
-
PAGASA Deputy Administrator for Operations and Services Roy Badilla said Angat Dam in Bulacan was only a few meters from its normal high water level (NHWL).
“Angat only needs about 145 millimeters (mm) of rainfall to reach 210 meters. We are expecting it will release water if rains concentrate over the catchment area,” Badilla said in Filipino in a press conference on Wednesday.
