MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Sunday urged the public to brace for possible floods and landslides brought about by two low pressure areas (LPAs) and the northeast monsoon.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made this remark after the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced that two LPAs inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility are expected to bring moderate to heavy rains in many parts of the country within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to inform that the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) conducted a meeting today, December 27, 2020, regarding the two low pressure areas (LPAs) and the northeast monsoon which have brought prolonged rainfall to the country,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask the public to continue following their local officials, monitor the latest PAGASA advisory, and be prepared in case there is an evacuation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite the inclement weather, Roque explained that it is important to continue observing minimum health standards amid the prevailing pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must not forget or ignore all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of everyone, including the observance of minimum public health standards, such as wearing of masks\/ shields, washing of hands, and maintaining social distancing.\u00a0Gawin pa rin natin ang<\/em>\u00a0Mask,\u00a0Hugas, Iwas<\/em>\u00a0(Let\u2019s continue to use our masks, wash our hands, and observe physical distancing),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As of 3 p.m. Sunday, the first LPA was spotted 190 kilometers west northwest of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan while the other one was seen 40 kilometers northeast of Daet, Camarines Norte.<\/p>\n

Moderate to heavy rains will be experienced today over Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region, Quezon, Aurora, Bulacan, Rizal, Mindoro provinces, Marinduque, Romblon, Dinagat Islands, Calamian Islands, and Kalayaan Islands.<\/p>\n

Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over mainland Cagayan Valley, Metro Manila, the rest of Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and the rest of Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and Caraga.<\/p>\n

The two LPAs being monitored are not likely to develop into tropical depression, PAGASA said.<\/p>\n

However, the public and the local government units were urged to heighten preparedness for the combined effects of the two LPAs.<\/p>\n

PAGASA issued the commencement of flood precaution period for Angat Dam in anticipation of the rainfall brought by the LPAs. Advisories on the flood-precaution period for dams are continuously disseminated to areas to be affected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
