MALASIG / MANILA BULLETIN) The zero-casualty and third-string damages were a record of sort as the province's lowland and upland districts withstood the Tuesday storm amid the Signal No. 3 and Red Rainfall Alert that the authorities raised during the day. Cavite, a coastal province with over 4.4 million residents in seven cities and 16 municipalities, is a known typhoon and "habagat" (southwest monsoon)-prone area. Deaths, floods, and extensive damages in terms of agriculture, livestock, and infrastructure are usually reported in Cavite whenever a Signal No. 3-strength typhoon and the "habagat" with Red Rainfall, the highest alert, strikes the province. What happened on Tuesday was different as Cavite held out against the typhoon's fury. In the latest situation reports that the Cavite Police Provincial Office (PPO) released Wednesday noon (Dec. 4), there were no reports of deaths, injuries, missing, or stranded. Cavite PPO Chief Inspector Jonathan Abuel Asnan said there were reports of destroyed houses, toppled trees and cable lines, and power interruptions in the province. Asnan said there were at least eight houses destroyed in Ternate, and fallen trees and some damage houses in Barangay Luksuhin, Alfonso. Power interruptions were reported in Ternate, Rosario (also called Salinas), Noveleta, Tanza, Naic, Mendez-Nunez, Indang, and some areas in Tagaytay and Alfonso. The PPO-Tactical Operation said Barangay Bucana in Ternate was the only village that was flooded during heavy rains in the province on Tuesday. Asnan reported that there were at least 1,461 families or 3,543 individuals who were evacuated to safer grounds in 11 lowland and upland cities and municipalities. The evacuation breakdown was as follows: Cavite City, 693 families; Carmona, 95; Tanza, 77; Rosario, also called Salinas, 58; Kawit, three; Ternate 53; Bacoor City, 424; Naic, 11; upland Alfonso, 14; Tagaytay City, 32; and Amadeo, 11. The evacuees returned to their homes when the sun shone bright and hot on Wednesday. All roads in the province were passable and all major roads were at their normal level despite the strong, intermittent rains in the area on Tuesday. The Cavite Office Public Safety Office (COPS), provincial and local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO), and the Police Provincial Office (PPO) continued to monitor the situation in the areas through Wednesday. In the capital Imus, the local government shared the typhoon situation and updates through Facebook on Tuesday. The city government put up at least 50 modular tents inside the Imus Sports Gymnasium for the use of evacuees. City Engineer Christian Mervin S. Sarno reported that damages in Imus were minimal, affecting only a few lantern displays along Aguinaldo Highway. Provincial and local officials said the damages in the areas were minimal but that it was still a disaster because "Tisoy" had affected the citizens in terms of the day's productivity. The provincial government suspended classes in all levels in Cavite over the last three days starting Monday and decreed half-day operations for government offices on Tuesday.
