The collapsed Agana Bridge in Tarlac City on Monday, August 31, 2026, two days after it gave way amid fierce currents from the swollen Tarlac River. The vital link collapsed on the night of August 29 following relentless rains brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat), leaving a large section of the structure washed away.
