Dingdong Dantes is the lead in NDRRMC's important video on essential flood recovery checklist
On Facebook, the NDRRMC reshared the video it first published in June, starring the Kapuso Primetime King talking about the three things to check at home before going back to normal.
Check your outlets. Before attempting to use electricity, make sure that there are no wet cables or wires submerged in water to prevent electrical hazards such as short circuits.
Check your surroundings. Aside from your home's interior, make time to check your surroundings as well for stagnant or accumulated water that can potentially be a breeding ground for mosquitoes, such as plant pots, old tires, or any other containers. This is to prevent the spread of dengue or other mosquito-borne diseases.
Check yourself and your family. Last but not least, check yourself and your family's health. If needed, consult a health center or your doctor immediately in case anyone is feeling unwell.
Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon are contending with heavy rains brought by Habagat, shortly after Tropical Cyclone Crising's devastation.
Some areas in Luzon have experienced flooding, while more than 500 flood incidents have been reported in Metro Manila.
According to the NDRRMC, six people were reported dead due to Tropical Cyclone Crising, Habagat, and the low-pressure area (LPA).
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Asia (PETA) has already called for pet owners to include animals in disaster plans during typhoon season.
Earlier Tuesday, state weather bureau PAGASA said heavy rains will continue to drench parts of the country due to the habagat and the trough of the LPA.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority also issued an advisory the affected roads.
As of 10am Tuesday, July 22, PAGASA is monitoring three LPAs in and outside of PAR.

Rainy, cloudy weather on SONA 2025 —PAGASA
The giant national flag at the House of Representatives is hung up in the session hall again at the Batasan Complex on Thursday, July 17, 2025 Cloudy skies with rains are expected in different parts of the country, including Metro Manila, on Monday, where President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. is set to hold his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the Batasan Pambansa Complex. In a special weather outlook for the occasion, PAGASA said on Friday that the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat will be the dominant weather system affecting the country during the SONA. 'On Monday, July 28, the Southwest Monsoon will bring mostly cloudy skies with chances of isolated rains or thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan,' PAGASA said. 'The rest of the archipelago will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms,' the state weather bureau added. PAGASA said the weather outlook will be updated if significant changes in the weather pattern occur. House Secretary General Reginald Velasco issued a memo for the austere holding of the SONA amid the impact of Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwast Monsoon or Habagat on the country. "There will be no staged ceremonies, fashion coverage, or photo setups in the red carpet area," read the memo. "Members are respectfully urged to avoid ostentatious displays and exercise discretion in their wardrobe choices," it added. According to the memo, this is "in view of the recent calamities affecting several regions of the country." The Senate will also not roll out the red carpet for the opening of the 20th Congress, according to Senate President Francis 'Chiz' Escudero. Several parts of the country are still reeling from the effects of consecutive storms amid days of heavy rains. The reported death toll due to Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat has increased to 25 as of Friday morning. A state of calamity has also been declared in 84 cities and municipalities. —VAL, GMA Integrated News

MWSS-RO suspends disconnection activities in Maynilad, Manila Water service areas
The Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System-Regulatory Office (MWSS RO) on Friday announced it has ordered concessionaires Manila Water Company Inc. and Maynilad Water Services Inc. to temporarily suspend all service disconnection activities due to non-payment of water bills within their respective service areas. In a statement, the MWSS-RO said the directive was issued in light of the combined devastation brought about by the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) and Tropical Storms "Crising," "Dante," and "Emong.' The agency said suspension of service disconnection activities shall be effective for 15 days, from July 25, 2025 to August 8, 2025.

'Rest assured that the MWSS RO will continue to implement proactive measures to support communities and protect consumer welfare, especially during this time of adversity,' it added. Maynilad currently serves customers in the west zone, which covers the cities of Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon Manila, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Parañaque, Pasay, Quezon, Valenzuela.
