At least 26,000 individuals affected by typhoons and severe weather in Pangasinan received help from GMA Kapuso Foundation. According to "24 Oras," Wednesday, nearly P10 billion in infrastructure damage nationwide was caused by Typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong, as well as the Southwest Monsoon, or Habagat, with over P1 billion of that damage specifically recorded in Pangasinan. Under Silong Kapuso Project, GMA Kapuso Foundation provided roofing materials to homes that had lost their roofs. Among those who received aid were Lola Estrilita, whose original roof was destroyed, forcing her to temporarily use makeshift tin sheets, and Deby Ann Tactaquin, who constructed a small temporary shelter from scattered tin sheets. Relief goods were also delivered to affected residents. "Malaking tulong po itong binigay ng GMA Kapuso Foundation. Hindi po namin akalain na mabibigyan po ang Sual," Sual Pangasinan MSWDO officer Ma. Lourdes Sabido said. Overall, seven Pangasinan towns received help through the program. After this, GMA Kapuso Foundation will head to Benguet and La Union for further aid distribution. For those who are interested to help, GMA Kapuso Foundation is accepting donations through bank deposits, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, PayMaya, Zalora, MegaMart, Globe Rewards, Metrobank credit card, and Lazada.

Tsunami warning for French Polynesia after Russia earthquake
PARIS — Local authorities in French Polynesia have issued a tsunami warning for the Marquesas Islands archipelago, with waves of 1.10 to 2.20 meters expected to hit the islands of Ua Huka, Nuku Hiva, and Hiva Oa overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday. The warnings follow a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. Residents were urged to move to higher ground and follow official instructions, including securing boats or moving them away from the shore. Other archipelagos in French Polynesia may be affected by waves less than 30 cm high, which do not require evacuation or sheltering, local authorities said. French Polynesia covers 4,200 sq km of the Pacific Ocean, roughly the area of continental Europe. It consists of 118 islands, grouped into five archipelagos. — Reuters
