Watch out for this Col. Simplicio Duque and his people who'll call you at work or at home and hard sell you tickets to "AFP" fundraisers. The tickets are worth thousands and they'll all but directly threaten you to buy these tickets. Do not be intimidated by whoever's name they drop and just refuse. This is a scam, a friend of mine baited one of them into going to his office and when he checked with the BIR, the tin no used in their receipts are fake.

This guy made the news last night. He stole the iPhone of a volunteer and started taking selfies, not realizing there was an app on the iPhone that automatically uploaded photos of the guy who took the photo into the owners' FB account.

 

The guy in the photo with the glasses is the thief. Anyone who knows the person should report him immediately to police.

In case you're not aware, Metro Manila will be waterless for 3 or 4 days starting on April 16 I believe. Everyone should fill their pails/water barrels before this happens to avoid this horrible inconvenience.

 

Imagine an entire metropolis without water for 4 whole days. Only in da Pilipins.....

Imagine something like this happening in New York City or Los Angeles. The mayors/congressmen/governor of these cities and states will be under tremendous criticism. This would be world news if this ever happened in the US, Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia.

 

It's better to lose power than it is to lose water.

 

Better start buying a lot of bottled water because the shelves may run out on or before these dates.

Typhoon Glenda (international code name Rammasun)is expected to directly hit Metro Manila on around early afternoon on Wednesday. Though it's rated as a mere category 1 typhoon, the prospect of a direct hit on Metro Manila could cause wide spread damage and flooding.

 

The effects on Metro Manila will probably be the equivalent of a more powerful typhoon (200 kph or more) at a distance of 150 km from the NCR.

 

We should all prepare for this coming storm. For once, expect wide-spread brown-outs. Fully charge your mobile phones tomorrow, Buy flashlight batteries, fill your pails with clean drinking water. Fishermen should avoid going out to sea starting tomorrow. Residents in low-lying areas should be re-located by LGUs.

Philippines braces for floods from tropical storm

Associated Press

4 hours ago

 

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippines braced for possible floods and landslides as a tropical storm continued to strengthen on Monday as it approached the country's eastern seaboard.

 

Tropical Storm Rammasun was expected to intensify into a typhoon before making landfall Tuesday morning in Albay province, the government's weather bureau said.

 

Albay, about 340 kilometers (212 miles) southeast of Manila, is a disaster-prone province where mudslides from Mayon, the country's most active volcano, buried entire villages in 2006 and left about 1,600 people dead and missing.

 

Rammasun, locally named Glenda, was about 500 kilometers (310 miles) east of eastern Legazpi city as of Monday afternoon, packing sustained winds of 110 kilometers (68 miles) per hour and gusts of up to 140 kph (87 mph), government weather forecaster Rene Paciente said. It entered Philippine territory on Sunday while still over the Pacific Ocean.

 

Alexander Pama, executive director of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, said the council's field offices in at least seven regions, including Metropolitan Manila, had been put on alert for landslides and flash floods.

 

"Our initial assessment is that there is not much on the wind. What we are wary about are landslides, flooding," Pama said.

 

Schools suspended classes Monday afternoon in some areas, including Manila, the capital. Local officials urged sea vessels not to sail in the storm's path, readied relief goods and prepared for the possible evacuation of residents, especially in flood- and landslide-prone areas.

 

Rammasun's impact is expected to be felt in metropolitan Manila starting Tuesday and will be over the capital by early Wednesday before moving into the South China Sea through either Bataan or Zambales province in the northwest, forecasters said. It is expected to be out of Philippine territory by Thursday, possibly moving toward southern China.

 

Central Philippine provinces have not yet fully recovered from the massive devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan last November. Haiyan's strong winds and tsunami-like storm surges flattened towns, leaving at least 6,300 people dead and more than 1,000 missing.
