Courtesy: Philippine Coast Guard/ Facebook The local government of Valenzuela City has declared a state of calamity due to the widespread flooding and infrastructure damage caused by tropical cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the enhanced southwest monsoon (habagat). The Sangguniang Panlungsod approved Resolution No. 3503 series of 2025, adopting the recommendation of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC) to declare a state of calamity and to release funds by way of assistance to the typhoon victims. 'Valenzuela City was severely affected by Tropical Storm Crising, Dante and Emong, which, in combination with the enhanced Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), brought prolonged and intense rainfall, causing widespread flooding, paralyzing public transportation and utility services, and resulting in the displacement of thousands of families,' the resolution reads. 'The continuous adverse weather conditions have resulted in extensive damage to public infrastructure, residential areas and agricultural lands, endangering the safety and livelihood of residents,' it said. The resolution added, 'The declaration of a state of calamity is necessary to enable the City Government of Valenzuela to access additional resources and funding for disaster response and recovery efforts.' According to the city government, over 9,000 individuals were rescued and evacuated to temporary shelters due to the inclement weather. Relief operations and health services continue in the temporary shelters, while post-flood assessments are being conducted in the city as part of their recovery and rehabilitation efforts. Meanwhile, a free ride service was also launched in Valenzuela City to help affected passengers. The Valenzuela City government also remains under heightened alert amid the continuous downpour. State weather bureau PAGASA earlier said the Habagat will continue to bring rains over parts of the country on Monday. Occasional rains may persist over Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Zambales, and Bataan while cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms is forecast over Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, the rest of Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Central Luzon. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms may be experienced over the rest of the country. –VAL, GMA Integrated News
