Pagasa reports that water levels in several Philippine dams rise over consecutive 24-hour periods as enhanced southwest monsoon rains continue. In an 8 a.m. update, Pagasa says six of nine monitored dams show increases, including San Roque, Angat, Magat, Pantabangan, Binga, and Ipo.
Across the coverage, Angat Dam in Bulacan is cited for major gains linked to recent rainfall from Tropical Cyclones Luis and Maymay and Habagat. One outlet reports Angat’s level rises by about 30 meters in roughly three weeks, reaching about its minimum operating level around Aug. 14. Another outlet notes that in earlier monitoring, Angat, San Roque, and Magat record the biggest increases, with some dams described as near spilling level.
While the outlets draw on Pagasa and local disaster updates, they differ mainly in timing and emphasis—some focus on the number of dams with rising levels, others highlight the scale of Angat Dam’s rebound and the operational thresholds mentioned in monitoring.
