Marcos assures Filipinos as Tropical Storm Enteng hits, causing deaths

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. assured Filipinos on Monday that the government is managing Tropical Storm Enteng, which has caused two deaths and 10 injuries.

Local government units are coordinating with national agencies to respond to both the storm's impact and the Antipolo landslide, while suspensions of government work and classes have been issued in some regions due to heavy rainfall.

State weather agency PAGASA raised Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 2 over nine areas in Luzon as Enteng is expected to make landfall over Isabela or Cagayan on Monday afternoon or evening.

Marcos directed agencies to monitor dams and prepare for possible flooding, emphasizing the need to closely watch water levels and release water if necessary.

The NDRRMC continues to provide updates while Pagasa reported that parts of the country may still experience torrential rain even after Enteng leaves the Philippine area of responsibility.

Ipo Dam in Bulacan has opened one washout gate, and La Mesa Dam's water level is higher than its overflow level, affecting several municipalities and cities.
