                    [Summary] => VIGAN CITY — The Ilocos Sur provincial board has declared a state of calamity after heavy rains devastated 2,000 hectares of tobacco farmlands in the province last month.


"Sobrang malaki ang napinsala (The damage was too much)," said Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson after he was briefed on the extent of the damage.


Those destroyed were ready-to-harvest tobacco plants. Farmers in the second district towns of Candon, Sta. Maria and Narvacan as well as in upland municipalities suffered the most.
