Wind signals lifted as Emong set for PAR exit
Wind signals have been lifted as tropical cyclone Emong continues to weaken on its way out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility. PAGASA said in its 5 a.m. Saturday tropical cyclone bulletin that Emong is now a tropical depression, with maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h and gustiness of up to 70 km/h. Last spotted 500 km northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, Emong was moving north northeast at 45 km/h. ''Emong will continue to accelerate generally north northeastward and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility this morning. Due to [the] increasing unfavorable environment and fast translational speed of Emong, it will likely degenerate into a remnant low within the next 12 hours,'' PAGASA said. The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will bring occasional rains over the Ilocos Region, Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro and cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, CALABARZON, the rest of Central Luzon, and the rest of MIMAROPA. The rest of the country will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms. Extreme Northern Luzon will experience strong winds and rough coastal waters, while the western section of Luzon will have moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas. Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate coastal waters are forecast for the rest of the country. —VBL, GMA Integrated News

DBM releases P1.625B for DSWD, DPWH quick response fund
The Department of Budget and Management has released a total of P1.625 billion to replenish the quick response funds (QRF) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) amid the impact of the Southwest Monsoon, or Habagat, and the series of storms that hit the country. Of the said amount, the DBM said that P625 billion has been released to DSWD for the procurement of family food packs and non-food items. The Budget Department said that 510,745 could benefit from DSWD's response. Meanwhile, P1 billion has been released to the DPWH to replenish its built-in QRF. 'Sinusunod po natin 'yung utos ng Pangulo na gawing prayoridad ang kaligtasan at kapakanan ng mga kababayan nating nasalanta ng sunud-sunod na bagyo at mga pagbaha,' said DBM Secretary Mina Pangandaman in a statement. (We are following the President's order to prioritize the safety and well-being of our countrymen who have been devastated by a series of typhoons and floods.) 'Ang DSWD at DPWH po, kasama po 'yan sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno na may built-in QRFs para masiguro na agad silang makatutugon sa oras ng kalamidad. Now, they've requested to have their QRFs replenished, so we released a total of P1.625 billion to both agencies,' she added. (The DSWD and DPWH are among the government agencies that have built-in QRFs to ensure that they can respond immediately in times of calamity. Now, they've requested to have their QRFs replenished, so we released a total of P1.625 billion to both agencies.) The QRF is a standby fund for relief and recovery programs to help normalize the situation in areas hit by disasters, calamities, or epidemics. Concerned agencies may request replenishment when their QRF balance has reached 50%, the DBM said. According to the latest figures by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, a total of 4,679,046 people or 1,295,808 families have been affected by the bad weather in all regions except Eastern Visayas. The region with the largest number of affected individuals was Central Luzon with 2,296,607, followed by Ilocos Region with 668,352 and Metro Manila with 399,392. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/LDF, GMA Integrated News
