                    [Summary] => SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union — The sudden downpour last week destroyed millions worth of tobacco plants in La Union, particularly in the first district where most of the tobacco farmers are based.


Farmers in Balaoan town, the largest tobacco producing municipality in La Union which is about 40 kilometers north of this city, told The STAR that the destruction was observed on Saturday when tobacco plants perished slowly due to the effect of the rainwater that flowed into the tobacco fields.
