Despite Crising exit, Habagat to bring more rains in PH
The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) will continue to bring rains over several areas in the country in the next 24 hours, PAGASA said Sunday. According to its 4 p.m. daily weather forecast, the state weather bureau said these areas are Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro. These heavy to intense rains may cause flash floods or landslides. The Habagat will also bring occasional rains over Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Benguet, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Oriental Mindoro, Antique, and Iloilo. Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will persist over the rest of Luzon, the rest of Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and Caraga also due to the Habagat. These moderate to at times heavy rains may trigger flash floods or landslides. The Habagat will also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms throughout the rest of Mindanao. Residents of the affected areas were warned of possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms. PAGASA said it is still monitoring Severe Tropical Storm Wipha, formerly Crising, outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. At 3 p.m., Wipha was located 935 kilometers west of extreme Northern Luzon. It has maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 150 km/h, and is moving westward at 30 km/h. State meteorologists also said winds will be strong, while coastal waters will be rough in the northern and western sections of Luzon. The rest of Luzon will experience moderate to strong wind conditions and moderate to rough coastal water conditions. Meanwhile, winds will be light to moderate, while coastal waters will be slight to moderate in the Visayas and Mindanao.

Ex-POGO employee nabbed for human trafficking; 8 Cambodia-bound Pinoys rescued
Authorities arrested a former Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO) worker at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport for alleged human trafficking and rescued eight Filipinos headed to Cambodia, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said Thursday. In a statement, DMW said the suspect was intercepted on Sunday, July 13, after he attempted to send the victims to Vietnam and then Cambodia to work as scammers. Based on the investigation, the suspect's former Chinese employer ordered him to arrange the documents of the victims. The eight victims were supposed to be the third batch he would send to Cambodia. The suspect was allegedly paid via cryptocurrency for every victim he recruited. He will be facing charges of illegal recruitment and human trafficking. Authorities are investigating whether there are other accomplices in the illegal recruitment. DMW's Migrant Workers Protection Bureau urged other victims to coordinate with the agency through their official Facebook account for legal assistance. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News
