Hmm...the updated forecast tracks from different weather agencies are very different from the PAGASA forecast. Saan kayo maniniwala...?

since forecast naman lahat, kung saan malapit na weather system yung disturbance, doon supposedly mas accurate
syempre factor na rin yung pagiging latest ng radar/satellite/software ... kahit malapit sa system kung panahon pa ng hapon, eh lalabas less accurate
kaya normally, naririnig natin yung "pls check your local weather forecast" from international news
mali nga yung ibang forecast.. kung totoo tong nasa baba.. dapat nararamdaman na natin yung ulan.. wala naman.. mukhang hindi naman talaga tayo tatamaan..

MANILA, Philippines –Vice President Jejomar Binay on Tuesday announced that informal settler families who were affected by the flooding caused by the southwest monsoon rains could be relocated to available resettlement areas within the week pending the construction of medium-rise buildings, or MRBs and permanent new settlements.
In a statement, Binay said the breakdown of the distribution of the 5,363 affected families identified by the National Housing Authority (NHA) are as follows: 150 families in Litex in Quezon City; 2,400 in Manggahan, Pasig; 1,500 in Navotas; 970 in Manila (Happyland, Tondo, Nagtahan, and Isla Puting Bato); 200 in Malabon; 75 in San Juan; and 68 in Mandaluyong.
The statement noted, however, that the NHA has yet to conduct a headcount of affected informal settlers in Marikina.
Last week, *******ial rains brought about by the southwest monsoon caused massive flooding and triggered evacuations of thousands of residents in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
The statement said that the affected families would be relocated in resettlement units in Towerville Phase 6 at Barangay (village) Gaya-Gaya in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan; Tanay; Bocaue; Southville 8B Phases 3 and 4 in Montalban, Rizal; and Southville 9 in Baras, Rizal.
Binay said the housing sector was pushing for the transfer of informal settlers living in danger areas to MRBs in safer sites within Metro Manila as well as in new town settlements.
“While the MRBs are still to be constructed, the most viable option for relocating these families would be to use the available resettlement sites on a temporary basis,” Binay said.—Fat Reyes
Kunti ingat...

halos hindi gumalaw si helen sa location nya ... dami kasing ulap na hinihigop ... sobrang taba ng bagyong ito
mukhang bugbog na naman northern luzon![]()
Wala naman ulan dito. Puro hangin. Ok lang, at least malamig. Huwag lang sobrang lakas na may masisira siya.
may protesta ang mga pagasa employees? hindi daw naibibigay mga benefits nila?![]()
Nagiba yung galaw ni Helen, mas malapit sa forecast track ng PAGASA.

Tsk tsk tsk ... Sa dami ng mga bagong kotse na nasa kalsada, at karamihan pa e SUV, ang hirap paniwalaan na naghihirap ang Pilipinas ... And you wonder why ang sama ng public infra at services despite all the taxes we are paying ...
Until mababasa mo all about the excess baggage that we have to carry ... Ang daming pabigat sa lipunan, at sila pa ang pinaka reklamador ...
Well, ang ini-isip ko na lang, masuwerte pa rin tayo na di na nangangailangan ng tulong ...
Tsk tsk tsk, makapag linis na nga lang ng oto :-)
