The body of the boy was discovered in a flooded farm in Barangay Capataan, San Carlos City, after a search operation following his disappearance. His father reported him missing at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, prompting authorities to launch recovery efforts in the area affected by rising water levels.
Police confirmed the boy was a resident of Barangay Capataan. The recovery of his body came as the region grappled with severe flooding conditions that impacted agricultural lands and residential areas across Pangasinan.
The incident highlights the dangers posed by monsoon-driven flooding in the province, which has repeatedly affected communities in low-lying barangays. Authorities have advised residents in flood-prone areas to exercise caution and remain vigilant during periods of heavy rainfall and rising water levels.
The boy's death adds to concerns over flood-related casualties in the region as weather systems continue to bring heavy precipitation to the area.
