LIST: More areas now under state of calamity due to onslaught of habagat
Several local government units (LGUs) have declared a state of calamity due to severe damage from the southwest monsoon, intensified by Tropical Storm Crising, Tropical Depression Dante, and newly formed Tropical Depression Emong.
LGUs that have declared a state of calamity include Quezon City, Manila, Malabon City, Marikina City, and municipalities in Antique, Bulacan, Cavite, Cebu, Palawan, Pangasinan, Rizal, and Tarlac.
The declaration of a state of calamity allows affected LGUs to access calamity funds, expedite disaster response and recovery, and impose a price freeze on basic commodities.
The rain bands of Tropical Depression Emong are expected to impact Northern Luzon, while the rest of Luzon and Western Visayas will experience the southwest monsoon enhanced by Emong and Dante.
Torrential rains are anticipated over Occidental Mindoro, Bataan, Zambales, Pangasinan, and La Union until Friday afternoon.
