This is the shocking moment a flash flood gushed through a river and eroded parts of a road in a village in the Philippines.

Footage shows the overflowing deluge as it destroyed the banks and swept away concrete in Davao Oriental province on January 31.

Some of the homes situated near the river were also damaged while local officers fought to salvage them by tying ropes around them.

Local official Abel Magsical said: ‘The dike and flood control that protected our village was destroyed. The rain continued two weeks later and brought further damage to our homes.'

The northeast monsoon and low-pressure area of weather affected the region which caused several national highways and bridges to be damaged, impacting more than 200,000 individuals.

According to the state weather bureau Pagasa, the region will continue to experience heavy rains until the coming weeks.
