                    [Summary] => CANDABA, Pampanga - Hordes of rats, reportedly as big as cats, have invaded thousands of hectares of ricefields in eight towns in Pampanga, destroying about 10 percent of rice farms in this province.


"The rats approximate the size of cats and their population has been noted to be unusual," said Dr. Emmanuel Guanlao, executive director of the Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council. 


He attributed the large rat population to floodings in Pampanga during the last rainy season.

President Arroyo earlier promised to deploy the Navy’s Seabees engineering corps to dredge the Guagua-Pasac River, the main channel of inland floodwaters into the Manila Bay. Officials, however, said the dredging has not begun.
