Some parts of Metro Manila sinking, say experts
By Rio Rose Ribaya | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom â€" Fri, Aug 17, 2012

There’s a bigger culprit behind the recurrence of massive flooding than deficient drainages in Metro Manila.

In fact, top geologists in the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) and University of the Philippines (UP) agreed that too much construction of buildings in an area sinks the land mass over which Metro Manila lies.

PHIVOLCS director Renato Solidum referred to the phenomenon as “ground subsidence” or the downward displacement of surface.

“There are two types of ground subsidence. There are natural and man-made causes. It’s man-made when you build structures and buildings. It’s natural when there are earthquakes,” Solidum explained.

“As the ground subsides, more flood occurs,” he told Yahoo! Southeast Asia.

Solidum said that the building of infrastructure adds further load on a surface, which makes the sediments weak or less intact like those in the areas near Manila Bay.

The geologist also noted that the extraction of too much groundwater also worsens the extent of floods in low-lying areas such as Malabon, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela, and other towns in Bulacan.

“Ground water actually supports sand sediments. The support eventually weakens especially when you take away ground water faster than it is replenished like in construction of deep wells,” Solidum said.

He confirmed the study of UP Professor Fernando Siringan, who called on public works and highway officials to compensate ground subsidence before allowing the construction of new infrastructures.

In a public hearing in the Senate on Thursday, Siringan said that in Malabon, some areas have been sinking by 10 centimeters a year while others descends by as much as one meter in four years.

He said that the subsidence is easily noticeable, as several places that used to be flood-free now experience flooding.

Siringan also told the Senate Committee on Climate Change that the sea level is also rising by almost one centimeter per year because of global warming.

The committee, chaired by Senator Loren Legarda, was looking into the Senate Resolution No. 560 filed by Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago.

Defensor-Santiago expressed alarm that the rate of subsidence in Bulacan and some parts of Metro Manila are “becoming somewhat like Venice, Italy where the area is perennially underwater.”

Weather Update: 3:43 p.m. August 19, 2012

Nahimo nang usa ka Tropical Depression ang active LPA sa east of Northern Luzon. Kining mao nga Tropical Depression gitawag na karon ug Igme (international name is Tembin = a Japanese weighing scale). Sa pagkakaron giforecast nga magpa-us-us ug samot nis Igme pero dili ni direkta nga makaapektar sa juta suma sa ijahang dagan karon. Ugma, Lunes, kinis Igme giforecast nga mobija (pabalik) adto sa eastern Taiwan (North-Northwest nga dagan).

Sa pagkakaron, hinay ang epekto ni Igme sa pagpakusog sa Habagat so way giforecast nga kusog nga uwan except sa Isabela ug Cagayan area. Usa pa, ang rainbands ni Igme dili pa kaajo lapad ug sakop mao nga wa pay kusog nga uwan. Pero karon sa Manila, ngiob ang langit pero puti puti gamay nga mga panganod ra, dili kaajo itum.

Mao ni karon ang latest satellite picture ni Tropical Depression Igme:



Nakataas karon ang Public Storm Warning Signal Number 1 sa Cagayan ug Isabela.

Dia ang forecast sa movement ni Tropical Depression Igme:

Hardworking ra ba ni nga cabinet member.

Praying for your safety Sir.

Sa pagkakaron wa pay Public Storm Warning Signals nga gitaas ang PAG-ASA. Ipost dajon naho dire kung naa na unja.

Base sa typhoon2000.ph nga website kining active LPA is a "surprise syste" kay murag base sa mga weather forecasts dili ni mahimugso.

Sa laing bahin, gawas sa active LPA sa Norther Luzon, duha pa ka buok LPA ang gibantajan karon nga posibling mahimo pud nga bagjo. Mao ni ang satellite models sa tulo ka active LPAs:



a. 200 NM WEST-SOUTHWEST OF GUAM = low chance of forming into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours

b. 440 NM EAST-NORTHEAST OF GUAM = low chance of forming into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours

c. 315 NM NORTHEAST OF MANILA, PHILIPPINES = a tropical depression already

God bless the Philippines!

Unta ug way damage or maangin ba nga kinabuhi tungod aning mga weather distrubances. Sa pagkakaron ra ba ang tanang major dams sa Luzon kay nag-awas na unja saturated na ang mga juta tungod sa pag-agi ni Typhoon Helen (Kai-tak).

Sa pagkakaron, nakagawas na sa PAR si Tropical Storm Helen nga karon nahimo nang Severe Tropical Storm (Category 1 Weather Disturbance). Tungod aning development, wa na karoy mga Public Storm Warning Signals sa unsang lugar sa Pilipinas.

Base sa latest report sa NDRRMC, 7 ang patay tungod ni Helen, 10 ang naangol ug 2 ang wa pa makaplagi karon. Ang Northern Luzon maoy misawo sa epekto ni Helen sa dihang mitugpa ni sija gahapon. Sa Isabela, Cagayan, Benguet, La Union ug Ilocos Provinces dihay mga landslides ug pagbaha nga gireport.

Bisan tuod tua na sa gawas sa PAR si Helen ijang pakusgon ang Habagat mao nga naa gihapoy mga pag-uwan nga masinatian ang mga lugar sa Luzon ug Western Visayas.

Inig ka tunaw ni Helen, makasinati na ang Pilipinas ug nindot nga panahon.

Warning diay tuod, gikumpirma sa Japan Meteorological Agency nga mitungha ang El Nino base sa mga weather models karon. Kaning mao nga El Nino episode mohangtud karong December (winter). Dako ug epekto ning mao nga El Nino sa Asya ilabina karon kay ang monsoon rains wa pa intawon makatuda ug maajo sa India.

Brave

Kalooy pud aning mga PAG-ASA forecasters nato.

Base sa news ganiha murag may politics sa paghunong sa hazard pay sa mga tawo sa PAG-ASA. Tungod kono kay si FPGMA ang nag implement ani so under review kono whether fair.

PAGASA weathermen protest lack of hazard pay as tropical storm looms

As another storm barrels towards Luzon, spotlighting their critical role in savings lives and property, PAGASA workers are protesting the lack of hazard pay that has been promised them.

“Gusto lang namin na maimplement yung Republic Act 8439,” PAGASA Weathermen Employees Association President Ramon Agustin said in a phone interview with GMA News Online.

In the Magna Carta for Scientists or Republic Act No. 8439, PAGASA weather forecasters are entitled to hazard allowances from 10 to 30 percent of their basic monthly salary.

However, Agustin said that the government has been slow to implement the law.

“’Yung mga tao, ‘yun na lang ‘yung inaasahan. ‘Yun na lang ‘yung source ng pampaaral nila, ng pang-araw-araw nila, ng pagkain nila,” said Agustin.

‘“The issue of the hazard pay of our forecasters is already with DBM,” Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a press briefing earlier.

Workers won't stop despite strike

However, the weathermen clarified that they did not intend to disrupt PAGASA's operations. The workers, wearing black arm bands, conducted their rally during their lunch break on PAGASA grounds.

“Our service will continue no matter what. Kahit nakahiga kami, gagawin namin yung trabaho namin,” said Agustin, despite a supposed lack of assurance from the government of any hazard pay.

“Our forecasters have always risen to the occasion. They have never put the public in jeopardy,” Valte said.

“But I will have to speak also to Secretary Mario Montejo because I am quite sure that he has already coordinated with his forecasters to address their concerns,” Valte added. "Kasi matagal na pong nakikipag-pulong si Secretary Mario Montejo, sila Director Mon Liboro with our PAGASA forecasters for them to first air their concerns and, pangalawa, to work with them with other agencies on those concern."

Critical lack of able workers

As of 2012, PAGASA employs 56 meteorologists â€"including weather observers, division chiefs and its administratorsâ€" out of its 867-strong work force. This means that meteorologists comprise roughly 7 percent of all its workers.

Thirty-six meteorologists are attached to the agency's Weather Division.

Over the last ten years, the number of PAGASA workers has declined by more than 20 percent. According to news reports, they have lost workers to better employment opportunities abroad.

Apart from that, since PAGASA cannot offer internationally-competitive salaries, it has not been able to attract enough applicants willing to work for relatively meager compensation.

According to PAGASA data, even its critical divisions are losing employees. The stark decline can especially be seen for the Field Stations, Climatology and Agrometeorology Division, and the Weather Division, which are all responsible for weather forecasting in the country.

Understaffed, undertrained

According to science-advocacy group AGHAM Party List, although PAGASA has continually insisted that it has a sufficient number of "weather forecasters," only a few have been adequately trained.

This dearth is partly due to the local lack of educational programs: until this year, only two universities offered a graduate degree in Meteorology â€"the University of the Philippines and Ateneo de Manila University.

According to the University of the Philippines website, the number of enrollees in its Meteorology program has steadily increased since it was first offered in 1970. However, the number of graduates does not reflect the current number of meteorologists employed in PAGASA.

In 2010, PAGASA, together with at least three other higher education institutions, began to offer an undergraduate program in Meteorology. But the program only started accepting students this year.

Demand increasing exponentially

The need for professionally-trained weather forecasters will only increase in the near future, as DOST and other allied institutions have launched intensive monitoring and forecasting programs such as Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) and CLIMATE X. These programs were created to enhance weather forecasting in the country to support aviation, navigation, agriculture and other industries greatly affected to weather.

PNoy meets with forecasters

At 5:30pm, President Benigno Aquino III arrived at PAGASA headquarters to personally talk to the forecasters, as well as assure the public that their safety would not be compromised.

"Naghahanap tayo ng fair. ‘Yung fair baka naman added benefit ‘nung nasa hazardous assignment talaga. ‘Yung hindi hazardous ‘wag naman sana entitled. Yung hazard pay, kailangan nating bigyan ng rhyme and reason. ‘Pag natapos lahat itong pag-aayos ng lahat ng detalye â€"sino ang entitled sa hazard at sino ang hindiâ€"pwede na nating isama sa request natin sa budget to fund these para may permanence sila, OK," Aquino said.

The President also said that, once things have been sorted out, a proper allocation could be entered into the agency's annual budget proposal. â€" TJD/HS, GMA News

Storm Helen brings more floods, landslides to north Luzon

Tropical Storm Helen (Kai-tak) slammed into the Philippines Wednesday, dumping heavy rains and causing renewed flooding and landslides in a nation hit by weeks of destructive monsoon weather.

Helen made landfall over northeast Luzon before dawn, packing powerful winds and dumping up to 35 millimeters (1.3 inches) of rain an hour, the state weather bureau said.

While Metro Manila and surrounding areas were not directly hit, they were inundated with intermittent bursts of heavy rain, just a week after flooding that covered much of the city left 95 people dead.

"We have been experiencing really heavy rains since last night, and our rescuers have evacuated some residents after neck-deep flooding was reported," said Melchito Castro, head of civil defense in the Ilocos Region.

He said flooding hit four towns, although there were no immediate reports of new casualties. Landslides also hit portions of a major highway, cutting it off to traffic.

Norma Talosig, a civil defense official in the region covering the eastern part of Luzon, said authorities there were closely watching the Cagayan River basin amid fears it could overflow.

At more than 500 kilometers (310 miles), the heavily silted Cagayan River is the longest in the country and cuts across four northern agricultural provinces.

"The water level is rising, but it has not yet reached critical levels," Talosig told AFP. "The danger is that when it does overflow, it will flood hundreds of hectares of agricultural production areas and communities."

Talosig said authorities in the eastern region expected heavier rains as Helen slowly moved northwards.

"When the storm's outer bands hits us, its like a whip that's deadlier," she said.

Helen was also expected to bring more misery to nearly half a million people still in evacuation centers in areas outside Manila where last week's floods have yet to fully subside.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said many low-lying farming areas remained flooded, and with rains expected to continue the waters would likely linger for days.

NDRRMC chief Benito Ramos has warned those in Manila and in areas where waters were receding to prepare for a new round of evacuations caused by Helen.

Two weeks of relentless monsoon rains peaked early last week with about two days of torrential rain across Luzon that affected more than 3.4 million people, according to the government. â€" Agence France-Presse

Storm Helen stationary in Isabela; heavy rain expected over NCR

Tropical Storm Helen (Kai-Tak) remained stationary for a few hours in Isabela early Wednesday after making landfall in the province, the PAGASA said.

But PAGASA forecaster Bernie de Leon said Helen was to pick up speed again and continue crossing Northern Luzon Wednesday morning.

"Sa mga nakalipas na oras halos stationary siya sa Palanan sa Isabela area. Nagkaroon siya ng interaction sa bundok ng Sierra Madre, bumagal siya in the past few hours pero sa susunod na oras inaasahan natin kikilos ito at 17 kph west-northwest at babagtasin niya ang northern Luzon," de Leon said in an interview on dzBB radio.

He said Helen has enhanced the southwest monsoon and brought rain to Central and Southern Luzon, including Metro Manila.

In Southern Luzon, De Leon said rain is expected over Mindoro, Batangas, Laguna, Cavite and Metro Manila.

"Makakaranas tayo ng pag-ulan na katamtaman hanggang malakas (We can expect moderate to heavy rain in Metro Manila)," he said.

PAGASA estimated Helen will bring rainfall of 20 to 35 mm per hour (intense to torrential) within its 500-km diameter.

Intermittent light to moderate rain (2.5 to 7.5 mm/hr) is expected over Central Luzon and the rest of Southern Luzon.

De Leon said they still expect Helen to leave Philippine territory by Thursday morning.

As of 4 a.m., Helen was estimated at 60 km south-southeast of Tuguegarao City, with maximum sustained winds of 85 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 100 kph.

It said Helen was forecast to move west-northwest at 17 kph and may be 200 km west-northwest of Laoag City by Thursday morning.

By Friday morning it is expected to be 600 km west-northwest of Laoag City.

Under Storm Signal No. 2 are:

Cagayan
Calayan Islands
Babuyan Islands
Isabela
Northern Aurora
Quirino
Nueva Vizcaya
Benguet
Ifugao
Mt. Province
Ilocos Sur
Apayao
Kalinga
Ilocos Norte
Abra
Batanes Islands

Under Signal No. 1 are:

Nueva Ecija
Pangasinan
Tarlac
La Union
Rest of Aurora

"Northern Luzon including Northern Aurora will experience stormy weather and the coastal waters along these areas will be rough to very rough. Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Tarlac, La Union and the rest of Aurora will have rains with gusty winds while the rest of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon and Western Visayas will experience occasional to frequent rain which may trigger flash floods and landslides," PAGASA said.

Mindanao and the rest of Visayas will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, it added.

PAGASA reminded residents in low-lying and mountainous areas under Signals 1 and 2 to be alert against possible flash floods and landslides.

It also reminded those in coastal areas under public storm signal 2 to be alert against big waves or storm surges.

PAGASA said strong to gale-force winds associated with Helen and the southwest monsoon may affect the seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon and Visayas.

"Fishing boats and other small sea crafts are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves," it said.

Intense rain

Meanwhile, PAGASA warned of intense rain over the Mount Pinatubo area in Central Luzon that may loosen lahar deposits from the volcano.

It in its 7:50 a.m. advisory it said: "RAIN ADVISORY over Mt. Pinatubo is Heavy to intense (16 to 30 mm/hr)."

Pinatubo erupted in 1991, sending lahar to the areas around it. â€" LBG, GMA News

Batanes Grp. of Islands

Pagpasabot nga public storm warning signal nagsugilon ra sa kakusgon sa hangin nga masinati sa mga probinsiya nga naay storm warning signal. Ang uwan wa maakip ani mao nga magbantay kanunay sa hulga sa landslides ug flashfloods. Ang habagat pakusgon ug maajo ni Helen sa tibuok Luzon ug Western Visayas mao nga magbantay.

Sa karong taknaa, light to moderate ra ang uwan nga nasinatian sa Central ug Southern Luzon pero magbantay lamang gihapon kay intense to heavy rain ang masinatian sa mga lugar nga naa sa 500 km radius ni Helen.

Base sa mga weather bureaus, 720 mm of rain ang da ni Helen nga arang ka HEAVY. Mas kusog pa nis habagat nga nasinatian sa Manila niadtong August 7 to 8, 2012.

Mao ni ang lates satellite pictures ni Tropical Storm Helen:





(Tan-awa ang puwa nga bulok sa hulagway. Ang buot ipasabot ana nga kusog nga uwan na)

Mao ni ang forecaste path ni Helen:







Makita nga sa PAG-ASA ang forecast maigo ang extreme Northern Luzon ni Helen pero sa ubang models dili maigo.

bai tigs, it's around 10:00 a.m. in manila now.  i just woke up.  it's helter-skelter in the skies again.  ngitngit pa sa akong kalimutaw ang kalangitan.  and there's thunder and lightning.  i hope my fears that the floods will come again would remain just that, mere fears.

Te, base sa ingon sa PAG-ASA ienhance ni Tropical Depression Helen ang southwest monsoon. Tungod ani magda ug heavy to intense rain ang Habagat over Visayas, Southern Tagalog, Central Luzon, Bicol ug Region II (Cagayan Valley Region). Unta ug dili mokusog pareha sa miaging Habagat enhanced by Tropical Storm Haikui. Church me away!

Bulok ni gobyerno labaw pang corrupt. Why not improve the medical and health services of the country? Are contraceptives the ultimate solution to the degrading health service of the country? I think no. It is the eradication of corruption = corruption in the government when it comes to finances and moral corruption of those who are elected.

Bisan wa jamoy bagjo arang ka baha kaajo! Pastilan.

Sa naexperience karon dires Metro Manila ug ubang provinces specially ang Bulacan, Pampanga, Zambales, Pangasinan, Batnagas, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal ug Tarlac daghang nag-ingon nga mura o mas labaw pa gani konong Bagjong Ondoy (Tropical Storm Ondoy) ang nahitabo. Unsa may kalainan karon ug sauna?

What is involved?:	Southwest Monsoon (Habagat)	Tropical Storm Ondoy
Amount of Rainfall in 24 hours:	472 mm	455 mm
Peak of rainfall:	Spread over the 24 hour period	Peaked for 6 hours
Effect of rainfall:	Because the rainfall was spread over the 24 hours period the effect was gradual even though when taken and compared with Typhoon Ondoy the total accumulated rainfall is greater.	The effect of the rain was sudden because it peaked during a 6 hour period. Mao nga daghang nakuratan.
Time of occurence:	The effect of Habagat was felt all through out the day going though the night. Ikaduha na ron ka adlaw. August 7 to 8, 2012 ang habagat nangusonguso.	Gabii nis Ondoy nanguso nguso so pagmata pagka buntag sa mga tawo arang kurata jamo kay baha na kaajo.

15 women we lose to maternal deaths every day = I wonder where did they got this information? Hmmmmm. Smelling hidden interests here. Anyway, they can pass several RH Bill, most contents of which are already in approved legislation and drown themselves in the P3 to 14 billion annual budget, but I bet, these figures will never be curbed. Mao nga atat nas Noynoy for the passage of this bill its because he needs the money to campaign the candidacy of his LP mates. Puwe! Way kalainan sa mga pulitiko nga nangagi.

kumusta man intawon si budinggit ug catarina ug iyang mga babies?

Si Budinggit, Catarina and the rest of the gang are all okay Te.

Niadtong Monday night, August 6, 2012 usa miigo ang baha, aho nang gisaka si Catarina ug ang ijahang mga anak sa second floor kay feeling naho, based on experience nga mobaha jud ug kusog tungod sa way puas nga uwan. Mao to nga mga 20 minutes after misud na gajud sa bay ang baha. Arang ka kalit! Murag sa Ondoy! Pagsaka naho sa mga iring sa second floor wa pa jud toy baha bisan sa nataran pero kali kalit ra gajud. Praise God! Mipatigbabaw ang ahong instinct over the safety of the kittens and Catarina.

Si Budinggit arang ka comfortable. Ganahan magpahabol sa ahong katre, mura pud ug tahor! Salamat sa concern Te. Ag ikaw? For sure wa ka kalihay sa baha diha sa Manila Bay area except kung naa kas Bohol ron. Misugod na pud ug bundak ang uwan.

Kani konong pag-uwan nga nahiaguman sa Metro Manila Area ug sa ubang duol nga mga probinsiya tungod sa Habagat nga gipakusog sa Tropical Storm Haikui nga tua sa China karon mitugpa na. Matud pa sa PAG-ASA, kani kunong uwana mao ni gitawag ug SIYAM-SIYAM tungod kay siyam na kaadlaw nga way undang ang uwan.

Bisan pa tuod sa kakusog sa uwan, 3/4s ra ni sa uwan nga gibundak ni Bagjong Ondoy niadtong 2009. Ang nakabalaka lamang ani karon kay way bagjo pero arang ka uwan kaajo.

Gahapon, AUgust 7, 2012 sa buntag, 5 ka bay intawon ang natabunan sa landslide didtos Commonwealth Avenue. 9 ka kinabuhi ang naangin akip na ang 3 ka buwan nga bata. Tsk tsk tsk.

BALITANG RH BILL: Abp Villegas openly assails PNoy’s RH bill support

MANILA, August 4, 2012â€"Despite his ties to the Aquino Family, Lingayen, Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas today reminded President Benigno Simeon Aquino III that his administration’s “Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap” slogan should not mean to say “kung walang anak, walang mahirap.”

In a message to the youth, read by Henrietta de Villa during the prayer power rally against the Reproductive Health Bill at EDSA shrine, Villegas said it is corruption that the government should cure, not nurse.

“Corruption is the cancer of the Philippines that prevents us from growing. When President Aquino called us his boss, we cheered, when he banned wang-wang in the street and moral wang-wang in the bureaucracy, we followed his vision.

“[But,] My dear youth, contraception is corruption. The use of government and taxpayers’ money to give out contraceptive pills is corruption,” Villegas said.

Although he was not physically present during the anti-RH bill rally spearheaded by the CBCP, Villegas made his presence felt when he also reminded the Aquino government to focus on getting rid of corrupt government officials, not of unborn babies through the promotion of artificial contraception.

“A culture of contraception looks at babies as reasons for poverty. Birth control, they say, means more food, more classrooms, more houses and better health for mothers. If more babies are the cause of poverty, are we now saying, ‘kung walang anak, walang mahirap?”

“It doesn’t rhyme because it is not correct. We can have more classrooms, more food, more jobs if we would be less corrupt. Send out the corrupt official, not the baby,” he told the youth, as if telling Aquino what to do.

Villegas vowed to join the fight against the passage of the RH bill in Congress, saying the fight is more to correct the misconception that the children is a mistake and not a blessing.

“My dear youth, your birth is not a mistake, your birth was God’s gift to us your elders. You are not the problem, you are our blessing. The problem is the corruption of your elders, your elders must change for your future can be brighter.

“I am standing to defend you. We are fighting the error because you might be misled. We are battling against corruption because we know it can harm your soul, believe me, contraception harms your soul,” he added.

Villegas subtly reminded the government that if the RH bill is passed into law under the Aquino administration, Aquino’s legacy will be a “contraceptive generation, which will eventually give birth to an abortion generation.”

“If a contraceptive pill is to be considered an essential medicine, what sickness is it curing? Is pregnancy a sickness? Why is it that women get sick with cancer after taking the contraceptive pill? My dear youth, contraception, makes healthy people sick,” he added.

The bishop also clarified to the youth that the Church is not being “autistic” about the issue on artificial contraception nor being insensitive to the signs of the time.

“When we teach you that contraception is corruption, we are not being insensitive to the challenge of modernity. We are just being protective of you because it can destroy you sooner than you think.

“Artificial contraception could open the door for moral infidelity and a general lowering of standard. We your elders do not want you to follow the path to moral corruption,” he added.

Villegas also warned government economic advisers that population control will not make the Philippines a tiger economy in Asia.

“We want to be a tiger economy in Asia like our neighbors but what is a tiger without a teeth? What is progress without our laughing children? For whom do we envision progress? What is victory at the expense of the mortal soul?” he asked.

Though he did not direct his message to President Aquino, the prelate vowed to fight anyone who will push for the passage of the RH Bill.

“We shall fight contraception or we will perish as a Godly nation. Youth of the Philippines, because I love you, I will fight contraception. This battle is for you and I fight for the love of you,” Villegas added.

Archbishop Villegas was a staunch supporter and friend of President Aquino’s mother, Corazon Aquino, since the EDSA People Power Revolution.

Other bishops present during the prayer power rally against the RH Bill at EDSA Shrine today were Bishops Jose Oliveros of Malolos, Pablo David of Infanta, Gabriel Reyes of Antipolo, Ramon Arguelles of Lipa, and Leo Tumulak of the Military Ordinariate. (YouthPinoy)

http://theignoredgenius.blogspot.com/2012/08/mga-punto-sa-rh-bill-sa-totoo-lang.html

Wa nimo makita Te? Naa man baja.

Last Sunday night, dires Manila, dihay kusog kaajo nga hangin ug uwan nga mihapak. Aho na pud tong nabatbat sa lain nga post. Ang tawag diay ato kay MESOCYCLONE.

Base sa wikipedia:

A mesocyclone is a vortex of air, approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) to 50 mi (80 km) in diameter (the mesoscale of meteorology), within a convective storm.[1] That is, it is air that rises and rotates around a vertical axis, usually in the same direction as low pressure systems in a given hemisphere. They are most often cyclonic, that is, associated with a localized low-pressure region within a severe thunderstorm. Such thunderstorms can feature strong surface winds and severe hail.

Diay picture gikan pud sa wiki adtong mesocyclone nga nabati sa mga taga Manila ug Central Luzon areas:

Human makaland fall si Saola (Gener) ug Damrey didtos China, officially usa na ka tropical storm ang tropical depression ganina. Kini gitawag karon ug Haikui. Ambot unsay buot ipasabot aning Haikui.

Ikaduha, usa na pud ka tropical depression ang nahimugso sa may Wake Island dapit. Kaning Wake Island tunga tunga ni sa Honolulu ug Guam. Base sa mga weather models, dili direkta nga makaapektar ning duha ka mga weather disturbance sa Pilipinas.

minimum akong bayad, as housewife with no income.  PhP23.20.  purya gaba, wa ko sinsilyoi ug 80 centavos.  bisan na lang ug courtesy ug tulo ka 25 centavos, iyaha na lang ang singko, wa gyod kay wa kunoy sinselyo, mao nga PhP24 akong nabayran. 

arang katawa ni banana republic pakahibawo kay he knows nga kutihan gyod ko bahin ug sinselyoay.  nganong wa man ka mag-andam ug sinselyo nga maayo man kaayo ka ana mogamit ug panginsulto?  unsaon, wa man nako damha nga naa pa diay bungkig-bungkig nga sinselyo ning gobyerno nga di ra pod diay ihatag nato.

Korek Te. No way nga macounter check sa Government nga korek imohang information nga gibutang didto. Ako bitaw wa man koy sedula sukad nahuman ko ug take sa board exam. Hahahahaha. Ato ato lamang ni.

Maluoy man ganing ta ug iro or iring or unsa ba rong mga matang sa mananap nga murag wa alimaha ug tarong bata/ tawo pa ba kaha nga imong dugo. Anyway, point of view ni naho. What I heard and read of the culture in China and South Korea hasta ang Japan is that parents take pride kung may maachieve ang ilang anak sama nianing sports. Mura ug family pride pud ang prize ani for them.

Bahala na ug dili ma athlete ahong anak in the future basta dili lamang kastigohon ug ingana for the training.

Sa lang bahin, ang active LPA nga atong gihisgutan gahapon, nahimo nang usa ka Tropical Depression base sa ubang weather models. Pero sa PAG-ASA usa pa gihapon ni sija ka LPA ug tua pa gawas sa PAR.

Base sa ubang weather models nga nagcategorize niining LPA nga usa na ka Tropical Depression, mao ni ang ilahang models ug forecast:







Sa pagkakaron, tungod kay wa pa man mahimong usa ka tropical storm ang maong weather disturbance, wa pa ni sija panganli. Kung mahimo na ni sijang tropical storm panganlan ni ug HAIKUI. Base sa mga current models, dili ni direkta nga
makapektar sa Pilipinas pero mosapidpid ni sija sa PAR. Ug makasud man ganing tawgon ni sijag Helen.

Nakagawas na si Tropical Storm Gener (Saola) sa PAR. Nahuman na gajud ang ijang rampage. Nagsecond landfall si Tropical Storm Gener didtos China ug padung na karon sa Fujian ug Zhejiang Provinces. Within today giforecast nga si Gener mabungkag na due to land interaction.

Ang ubang weather stations nag undang na ug track ni Tropical Storm Gener. Mao ni ang current satellite pic ug forcast ni Tropical Storm Gener gikan sa JMA:



Sa Philippine loop mao ni ang current satellite picture:



Atong makita nga wa nay panganod kaajo sa Pilipinas so mag expect na ta ug maajo nga weather in the coming days. Kaso naa may paabot nga usa ka bagjo pud, mao nga mapakusog na pud ning habagat ani.

solution: nag-shawl ko ug nag head scarf.  lain tuod ang tinan-awan sa uban kay tingalig mora kog katingalahan ug porma, pero kagamay intawong problemaha ikomparar anang nabahaan.  syalan ba diay.

Dili diay ka bahaan diha kaajo Te? Sa Espana kay arang ka bahaan. Mangihi rag ilaga baha na.

Grabeng baha ang nahiaguman sa Manila Bay area sa may Baywalk tungod sa storm surge nga gipakusog ni Typhoon Gener. Daghang basura ang mga nawash out nga gipanguha pud sa mga tawo didto aron ibaligja.



Sa Navotas City, nagdeclare na ug state of calamity tungod sa pagbaha nga gipasamot pa sa high tide. Karong 10 am 1.9 meters ang high tide plus baha sa sigeng uwan = baha.



Sa Bataan mao pud ang sitwasyon. Pinaka grabe ang baha sa Hermosa, Bataan.

Sa laing bahin, naay existing strong to gale force wind warning sa seaboards sa Luzon ug Visayas. Mao nga di sa mosakay ug sakjanang pandagat kay kusog ang mga bawod.

Sa pagkakaron, base sa NDRRMC, 23 na katawo ang nangaangin ni Typhoon Gener, from Luzon down to Mindanao. Kasagarang cause of death kay pagkalumos.

Pakusgon pa gihapon ni Typhoon Gener ang habagat mao nga expected pa gihapon nga may kusog-kusog ngadtu sa kusog nga mga pag-uwan sa Luzon. Sa Visayas minimal na lamang ang uwan.

Ang Batanes group of islands na lamang may public storm warning signal sa pagkakaron. Unjang hapon giforecast nga makagawas na si Tyhpoon Gener sa PAR.

Weather Update: August 2, 2012 9:50 a.m.

Naglandfall na si Typhoon Saola sa may northeastern Taiwan. Karon si Typhoon Saola (Gener) nag tijok tijok didto sa eastern coast sa Northern Taiwan. Pareha ni sa nahitabo ni Typhoon Pepeng last 2009. Mao ni ang current satellite images ug forecast ni Typhoon Saola:









Kung injong makita naay diperensiya sa mga models. Naay miingon nga naglandfall naa puy miingon nga wa pa. Ingani jud siguro ni pero ang pinakareliable kanang hourly update sa PAG-ASA. Ingon sa PAG-ASA:

Typhoon "GENER" has maintained its strength as it made landfall over Northeastern Taiwan.

So mas motuo ko aning PAG-ASA. Kay kanang uban nga mga updates every 6 hour na sija. Ang ahong taghap nga nakalandfall na gajud si Gener unja kay mitijok man mao nga siguro naabtan sa pag update sa ubang models nakaingon sila nga wa pa maglandfall.

Mao ni karon ang current satellite picture ni Typhoon Saola (Gener) gikan sa PAG-ASA:

May Gale Force Wind warning ang eastern seaboard of Luzon, western and southern seaboard of Luzon and Western Visayas hasta ang central seaboard of Luzon. Mao nga sa mga mananagat dili mo pasagdan nga mangisda karon kay kusog ang hangin.

congratulations to you and catarina.  i hope those kittens will eventually find good homes.  di pa na sila mo-mature, kun di mag-rh bill si catarina, in three months' time, buntis na pod, huhuhu. 

if push comes to shove, there's an animal shelter somewhere in quezon city.  mosuway kog check kun motabang ba silag shelter sa homeless extras nimo or motabang ba silag spay aron di na manganak.  average fee man god ug vet spaying kay 3k.  hapdos-hapdos pod sa bulsa.  lalim kag lima imong ipa-spay kay puros baye nang naa nimo simbako.  labaw pa unya sa bagyo.     

I am planning to keep them all Te then eventually let Catarina undergo the operation hastas Budinggit aron dili na managhan. Luoy pud kaajo ug ahong ipasagop. Naa na may mipledge sa usa ka iring nga boarder ra pud sa bay nga sija konoy angkon.

tigs, asa man ka?  nabagyohan ka ba dinha sa imong dapit sa manila?  hinaot wa mo bahai.  diri sa among dapit way baha, salamat.  grabehag hapak sa hangin gabii uy (july 29).  gikan ko sa cebu, daghang libaong sa langit, pag-uli sa manila, di gani ko kaabli sa bintana tungod sa kakusog sa hangin.  blackout pa gyod.  hope okay ra mo dinha ni budinggit ug catarina.  ngiaow.

Hello Te, nanganak na si Catarina, tulo ka buok. Whew. Salamat sa concern. Si Budinggit mura pud ug korek kay nagselos pud sa ijahang mga manghud.

Si Typhoon Gener gipanganlan ug international name nga SAOLA - usa kini ka animal with scientific name Pseudoryx nghetinhensis.

The saola, Vu Quang ox or Asian unicorn, also, infrequently, Vu Quang bovid (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis), one of the world's rarest mammals, is a forest-dwelling bovine found only in the Annamite Range of Vietnam and Laos.

Na wa ko karijot sa kahanginan kay dihay giasikaso nga importante. Hehehe.

Sa balita sa dagan sa panahon, si Bagjong Gener (Typhoon Saola) na pa gihapon sa PAR. Dugay intawon ni sijang lumibot libot sa may Taiwan Strait tungod sa usa ka High Pressure Area sa may Hokkaido, Japan nga nagpugong ni Typhoon Gener nga modagan.

Miadtong July 28, 2012, Domingo, sa gabii, dire sa Manila nahimatngon ang mga tawo nga kusog kaajo ang uwan ug kusog kaajo ang hangin nga mura na ug dihay bagjo pero sa pagkatinuod way storm signal ang Manila. Ang tinuod tungod to sa usa ka LPA. Sa dihang nagdagan si Typhoon Gener ijang gibitad ug gipakusog ang HABAGAT (Southwest monsoon). Normally mosunod ra pud nang HABAGAT kung asa bitaron sa bagjo pero sa dihang diha na sa Manila Bay, dihay parte sa Habagat nga may nahimong circulation (mitojok). Mao toy nakahimugso sa LPA nga mihuros sa tibuok Manila hangtud didto sa Sierra Madre. Hinoon wa malahos pagkahimugso sa usa ka bagjo ang maong LPA.

Gikan pagka Biyernes sa miaging semana hangtud karon Martes, Agosto 1, 2012, nagsige ug way puas ang uwan ug hangin dire sa Luzon, sa may Western Visayas (Negros Area) ug sa ubang dapit sa Mindanao. Daghang balita sa pagbaha.

Mao ni ang nahimutangan ni Typhoon Gener karon ug ang ijahang projected nga daganan. Naay mga PSWS.






Signal # 2 sa Batanes, Calayan ug Babuyan Group of Islands

Signal # 1 sa Cagayan ug Apayao.

Mao ni ang PAG-ASA satellite picture ni Typhoon Gener.

Weather Update: July 26, 2012

Ang kadtong LPA sa east of Mindanao nagpabiling tua ra gihapon dapit didto. Nagpondo ra sija. Base sa latest weather models mahimo ni sijang bagjo within the next 48 to 72 hours. So expect a rainy weekend para nato dire sa Eastern Visayas ug Luzon. Sa pagkakaron may 20% chance pa of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours ang maong LPA.

Mao ni ang latest satellit picture sa PAR:



Ug sa China, diay video mahitungod atong baha nga nahiaguman sa Beijing niadtong miaging semana. Kadtong bahaa pinakakusog kono to nga nahiaguman sa capital sa Chine sud sa 61 ka tuig.

Weather Update: July 24, 2012 9:39 am.

Naglandfall na o mitugpa na si Typhoon Ferdie sa Souther China east coast sa Western Guangdong, duol Chixizhen, China. Mikusog ug kalit si Typhoon Vicente nga gahapon Tropical Storm ra. Karon sa ijahang pagtugpa nahimo sijang Category 4 nga tropical disturbance (Typhoon).

Mao ni ang lugar kung asa ron si Typhoon Vicente:



Sa laing bahin, dire sa Pilipinas, usa ka LPA sa may sidlakan sa Mindanao ang nahimugso. Nahimutang kining mao nga LPA 903 kilometros sa sidlakan sa Mindanao. Sa pagkakaron may 10% chance pa ang maong LPA nga mahimong bagjo sud sa 24 oras (low chance). Bantajan lamang gihapon ni sija kay lajo pa ra ba sa juta ug may dakong chansa nga mahimong bagjo.

Mao ni ang latest nga satellite picture sa PAR:



Makita ang LPA sa east of Mindanao ug ang usa pud ka LPA sa east of Tuguegarao City.

Sa pagkakaron nakagawas na si Tropical Storm Ferdie nga gibunjagan karon sa International Name nga Vicente (ang buot ipasabot aning pangana kay "PREVAILING").

Sa pag-agi ni Tropical Storm Ferdie sa Pilipinas  2 ang kumpirmadong patay ug 6 ang gipangita pa karon. Kusog nga uwan, baha ug landslides ang gihatud ni Ferdie sa Pilipinas. Mao ni ang forecasted path ni Tropical Storm Ferdie:







Wa magkapareho ning mga weather models kay ang usa miingon nga nag landfall si Ferdie sa Luzon ug ang usa wa maglandfall ang ijahang forecast. Base sa PAG_ASA nga nagmonitor sa bagjo every hour, wa kono maglandfall ni Ferdie kundili miagi ni sija sa Balintang Channel sa extreme Norther Luzon.

Sa pagkakaron mao ni weather picture gikan sa PAG-ASA:



Klaro kaajo nga natabunan sa panganod ang tibuok Pilipinas, tungod ni sa habagat nga gibira ni Tropical Storm Ferdie samtang nagpalajo sija sa Pilipinas.

Sa laing bahin, sa Beijing, China kusog nga uwan ang ilang nahitumpakan. Kini kono nga uwan ang pinaka kusog for 30 years. Mura ni kibali sa Bagjong Ondoy (Tropical Storm Ketsana).
