CABANATUAN CITY, Philippines – The Pantabangan Dam is nearing the spilling level, prompting the National Irrigation Administration to release water from its reservoir to prevent it from overflowing.

The dam’s elevation yesterday was recorded at 217 meters, just four meters shy of the spilling level of 221 meters.

Josephine Salazar, operations manager of the Upper Pampanga River Integrated Irrigation Systems which runs the dam, said the dam’s elevation at this time of the year is much higher compared to its historical level of only around 202 to 204 meters.
