GSIS to gov't agencies: Report assets damaged by storms
In a statement, the pension fund and state assets urged agencies to prepare their policy details and reach out to the nearest GSIS branch or extension office with the full list of contact details found on its website.
GSIS said it provides coverage for all government-owned assets, including buildings, vehicles, equipment, and other properties.
The pension fund said it offers a range of non-life insurance products for institutions, such as fire, motor vehicle, engineering, and accident insurance, as well as optional protection plans for individual members, pensioners, and their families.
GSIS added it also issues compulsory third-party liability (CTPL) insurance and covers government-linked projects or ventures where public funds or interests are involved.
'We are ready to help agencies recover and get back on track. Your safety and protection remain our priority,' said GSIS officer-in-charge Juliet Bautista. —VBL, GMA Integrated News

A total of 83,804 individuals from various parts of the country who were affected by the recent typhoons and Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) have received aid from the GMA Kapuso Foundation. According to "24 Oras" Monday, Barangay Bucao in San Gabriel, La Union, was among the areas that were heavily impacted by the inclement weather, which left many homes devastated and caused a power outage in the neighborhood. "Nadaganan ng kahoy tapos 'yung iba, 'yung flooded po sila, we have a river kasi dito eh maraming residents sa area beside the river. Sila po 'yung victim ng baha," said Fr. Jonathan Obar, a Sanggunian member. "Nung humating-gabi na, lumakas yung ulan, lakas pa ng hangin, parang ipo-ipo na umiikot, lahat ng mga gamit naming sa loob, nabasa," said resident Magdalena Cariaga. In La Trinidad, Benguet, strawberry farmers suffered losses after their crops got damaged by the floods, while stores have been closed for almost a month due to the low number of tourists. "Kailangan ng bigas, wala rin benta kasi walang bisita," said Helen Hipol, a resident. The GMA Kapuso Foundation, under its Operation Bayanihan project, distributed relief goods to various parts of the country to help those who have been impacted by the heavy rains and floods. Relief goods were distributed to residents in Quezon City, Valenzuela, Bulacan, Rizal, Pampanga, Zambales, Bataan, Pangasinan, La Union, and Benguet.

DOTr: Road, drainage works to begin this week to prevent NLEX flooding repeat
Netizens capture images of flooding that snarled traffic on NLEX for hours in late July amid rains from the Habagat and recent storms. File photo National government agencies and local units, along with NLEX Corp., are set to start working this week to address drainage and improve waterways in the Valenzuela and Bulacan areas in a bid prevent a repeat of the recent floods that hit the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the DOTr said Sunday. According to Transportation Secretary Vivencio 'Vince' Dizon, officials of the Departments of Transportation (DOTr), and the Public Works and Highways (DPWH), along with representatives of NLEX Corp., Valenzuela City and Meycauayan, Bulacan met on Saturday, August 2, to discuss the action plan. Dizon said the group has already designated the work among the agencies, with 10 waterways set to be cleaned. Some will also have to be widened and dredged, as these have been filled with debris and silt. The biggest workload will be along the boundary of Valenzuela and Meycauayan, Bulacan, where all the agencies will be working together. 'Magsasama sama kami nun, magtutulungan kami para mapaluwag na 'yung waterway dun para kahit papaano, kung magbabaha man o matindi talaga 'yung ulan, eh hindi na katulad nung dati,' he said in an interview on GMA Super Radyo DZBB. (We will work together and help each other to clear the waterways so that somehow, even if it floods or the rain is really heavy, it won't be like before.) Dizon said he expects the waterway works to be continuous for two to three weeks, to prevent, if not lessen, flooding in the area. Parts of NLEX were flooded due to the recent rains brought by Tropical Cyclone Crising (international name: Wipha) and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, specifically in areas along the Valenzuela Interchange and the Paso de Blas entry and exit. For its part, NLEX Corp. said it is working closely with relevant government agencies and LGUs to provide long-term solutions. — Jon Viktor D. Cabuenas/BM, GMA Integrated News
