Filipinos show bayanihan spirit as Habagat rains continue to bring floods
The enhanced Southwest Monsoon or Habagat continued to dump rain across the Philippines on Tuesday, with government agencies, churches, civic organizations, companies and regular Filipinos working to help communities through this latest chapter of the Philippines' perennial flooding problem. The Department of the Interior and Local Government declared that classes will continue to be suspended in Metro Manila and several Luzon provinces, as well as government work except in agencies responsible for basic, vital and health services, preparedness and response duties. Several local governments have declared a state of calamity, including Quezon City and Manila; Malabon City; and the province of Cavite. The House of Representatives announced that 36 legislative districts—33 in Metro Manila and three in Palawan—will receive P10 million each in AKAP funds. In Emil Sumangil's report on 24 Oras, an overflowing river stranded motorists in parts of Las Piñas: in Tuazon Village, residents used plastic carriers to transport their neighbors through knee-deep waters as they continued to wait for government aid. Las Piñas River Drive was also submerged by the overflowing river, along with the boundary of Zapote and Bacoor. On the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), motorists were stranded for hours overnight into Tuesday as the thoroughfare's pumping stations struggled to control the floodwaters. In Pangasinan, the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO) is monitoring major river systems after several overflowing rivers caused floods in multiple parts of the province. Houses were submerged in floodwaters at Barangay Lasip in Calasciao, Pangasinan, causing residents to use makeshift rafts to travel within the area. Authorities have begun to conduct rescue operations due to the heavy flow of the flood. 'Compared po sa nakaraang taon na baha, medyo mataas po ito at the same time, mabilis po yung pagtaas ng tubig,' said Barangay Lasip Kagawad Mercy Ferrer. (Compared to flooding in previous years, this year is too high and rose too fast.) Calasiao MDRRMO also reported that the Marusay River was overflowing, while 17 barangays were already submerged in flood. 'Sa ngayon po, naghahanda po ang ating tanggapan at ang buong lokal na pamahalaan ng Calasciao. Magco-conduct tayo ng forced evacuation sa ating low-lying barangays,' said MDRRMO Calasciao LDRRMO III Kristine Joy Soriano. (Currently, our office and the entire local government of Calasiao is preparing. We will be conducting forced evacuations for our low-lying barangays.) Rescuers wade through chest-deep floodwaters in Barangay Lasip, Calasiao, Pangasinan, on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. COURTESY: Calasiao Information Office via GMA Regional TV One North Central Luzon Magsaysay Fish Market, despite being flooded, continued operations. In Barangay Anolid, Mangaldan, residents were forced to traverse through floods to be able to reach the central area. More than 1,700 houses, including Anolid Elementary School, had already been affected by flooding due to the heavy rainfall. Rescue personnel of the PDRRMO and several local government units are already on standby for immediate response in case of emergencies. Churches, companies offer aid Organizations including GMA's Kapuso Foundation, Angat Buhay and Caritas Manila are open to receive donations for storm-hit Filipinos. Churches have opened their doors to evacuees and are organizing relief operations, while malls continue to offer free parking, WiFi, and the use of charging stations to stranded motorists and commuters. PLDT-Smart announced they are providing free calls, texts, and 250MB of data to storm-hit subscribers in Angono, Bataan, Bulacan, Cainta, Las Piñas, Marikina, Mindoro, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Pasig, Tarlac, Taytay, and Zambales.

Philippine lawmaker seeks prioritisation of rice tariff law amendments
FILE PHOTO: A farmer walks along a paddy field on a rice terrace in Banaue, Ifugao province, the Philippines, on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. Rice prices have remained volatile, while the influx of cheap imported rice has displaced locally produced varieties. - Bloomberg MANILA: Las Piñas Rep. Mark Anthony Santos has urged colleagues in the House of Representatives to prioritise deliberations on proposed amendments to Republic Act No. 11203, or the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL), to ensure sustained availability of affordable rice in public markets. In a statement on Monday (July 21), Santos said the benefits promised under the RTL—such as lower rice prices and improved support for local farmers—have not materialised, highlighting the need for revisions to the law. Santos noted that rice prices have remained volatile, while the influx of cheap imported rice has displaced locally produced varieties. 'We have not felt the promised benefits of the Rice Tariffication Law. Rice prices failed to decrease significantly, and our farmers' lives became harder,' he said. According to Santos, amending the law would enable the government to prioritise local production, restore the National Food Authority's (NFA) authority to purchase unhusked rice from local farmers, and maintain a buffer stock that could be utilised beyond emergencies. During the 19th Congress, the House approved on third reading a proposal to amend the RTL, which seeks to restore some of the NFA's functions. House Bill No. 10381 was approved in May 2024, with 231 lawmakers voting in favour, three against, and one abstaining. House leaders, including 19th Congress Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, believe the amendments could lower rice prices by P10 (US$0.18) to 15 per kilogram. However, the bill faced opposition in the Senate due to concerns that restoring some of the NFA's mandates might lead to renewed corruption. Quezon 1st District Rep. Wilfrido Mark Enverga, former chair of the House committee on agriculture and food, assured that this would not happen since the NFA would play a limited role in importation. Enverga also said they intended to brief senators on the proposal, noting he understands the concerns raised by Villar and other senators. Villar, along with several senators in the 19th Congress, warned against amending RA 11203, noting that the law barred the NFA from importing and selling rice precisely due to rampant corruption within the agency. For the 20th Congress, Romualdez has proposed to 'strengthen the regulatory powers' of the NFA through House Bill (HB) No. 1, also known as the proposed Rice Industry and Consumer Empowerment (RICE) Act. According to a copy of the bill, the NFA's regulatory authority would be reinforced by amending Republic Act No. 8178, or the Agricultural Tariffication Act, which was later amended by the RTL. Romualdez said House Bill No. 1 and House Bill No. 14, the proposed Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation Act, will support the administration's food security programme and aid the Benteng Bigas Meron Na initiative, which is anchored on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s campaign promise to bring down rice prices to 20 per kilogram. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN

Where tech meets tempo
There's a hush before the reveal — a flick of silk, a magician's grin, and then astonished applause as two small display boxes rise from a trick cabinet. Inside them, under the spotlight, sits KOSPET's latest creations: the Magic R10 and P10 smartwatches. But it's not just the showmanship that lingers; it's the sense that these are not just devices for time — but companions for pace, pulse and purpose. Held at NEXUS Bangsar, the day marks more than KOSPET's first on-ground event in the country. It's a quiet statement that technology can move with grace — tracking not only steps, but stress; not just goals, but rhythm. At a glance, the watches impress with their bold faces and brushed steel bezels. But their magic lies deeper: AMOLED displays that stay bright in midday sun, a choice of magnetic, silicone or knitted straps for every kind of day, and sensors that listen to the body's quiet signals — oxygen levels, sleep cycles, heart rate variability, even moods that rise and fall with the hours. "With the Magic Series, we've designed something that performs and inspires confidence," begins Johnathan Zheng, marketing director of KOSPET, adding enthusiastically: "These watches reflect a lifestyle that's bold, informed and in motion. It's not just wearable tech; it's a personal statement." To bring that to life, two names familiar to Malaysian badminton fans — former World No. 10 and Olympian Lee Meng Yean and ex national player-turned- coach Ameer Zainuddin — stepped onto a pop-up court, rallying fast, clean shots that felt more like dance than sport. Each movement synced with the watches' sensors in real time, proving that what's measured best is often what's felt. But even for those who'll never hold a racquet, the Magic series has something to offer. There's menstrual tracking for women, guided breathing for the tense, and gentle nudges when vitals drift out of range. Battery life stretches up to 12 days, a gift in a world where we're always running low. Bluetooth 5.3 keeps everything connected without fuss. And when it comes to display size, users can choose the 1.43-inch Magic R10 or the larger 1.96-inch P10, both of which have been designed to keep clarity high and squinting to a minimum. Retailing at RM699, the Magic R10 and P10 is sold via Shopee, Lazada, TikTok and authorised KOSPET retailers. In a world where wearables often shout for attention, these timepieces whisper. But if you listen closely enough, they're telling you everything — from your heart rate to your heartbeat moments.
