KORONADAL CITY, Philippines — More than 2,000 villagers got displaced by flashfloods that swept through low-lying barangays in South Cotabato province Friday. Worst hit by flashfloods Friday night, spawned by heavy rains several hours before, are lowlands in Tantangan town, which is near Koronadal City, the capital of South Cotabato. South Cotabato Gov. The South Cotabato provincial government mobilized as early as Friday emergency responders in anticipation of possible flashfloods due to heavy downpours. A number of barangays in South Cotabato were hit just a week ago by flashfloods spawned by torrential rains.
