Governor Manuel N. Mamba
here commended the support
and cooperation showed by his
constituents prior to the landfall of Supertyphoon Lawin in
the province.
Mamba said the preparedness and cooperation of the
people has reduced deaths and
injuries during the onslaught of
Lawin.
In line with the provincial
governments aim for zero casualties during disasters, we
immediately implemented the
pre-emptive and force evacuation in areas declared to be in
imminent danger in times of disasters, such as, flood-prone,
landslide-prone and stormsurge prone, the governor
said.
He said residents who

heeded their call for preemptive and force evacuation

were transferred to safer
grounds resulting in fewer
deaths than expected.
Some affected families
are still in evacuation centers
today as their respective
houses were still submerged in
floodwaters, however, the provincial government and other
concerned agnecies are now
providing their basic needs,
Mamba added.
He said they are now accepting donations which can
be deposited to the provincial
government trust fund through
Land bank of the Philippines
Account Number 0122-1027-85
to continuously help those
families affected by the typhoon until they will recover.

Sen. Bongbong Marcos gives aid to Lawin-hit areas

CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela
Senator Ferdinand
Bongbong Marcos Jr. has
turned-over today a number of generator sets and
water pumps to the hardlyhit local government units
(LGUs) here.
The Supertyphoon
Lawin, which battered
Isabela and Cagayan areas
last week, has left some of
the hardly-hit areas in total black out due to damaged electric posts and
power lines which up to
now are not yet restored.
Marcos said the generator sets and water
pumps are initial assistance of his office as he
vowed to bring more aid
here and in other provinces
severely affected by
Lawin.
The provinces recipient-LGUs of the generators
sets include the towns of
Tumauini, Cabagan, Santa
Maria, Santo Tomas and
San Pablo which experienced a total blackout un-

til now.
Meanwhile, Vice Governor Ben Glenn Ecleo of
Dinagat Island province
also personally turnedover the P1 million cash assistance to the provincial
government here for
Lawin-affected Isabelinos.
Vice Governor Antonio Albano and other officials here appreciated the
genuine concern showed
by Marcos and Ecleo in
helping the province and
its people to immediately
cope with their losses and
rebuild their resources.
Marcos is has been
close to the people of
Isabela not only because
of the help that he hs been
extending to them but also
because they speak the
same dialect.

Nueva Vizcaya dad condemns 'Jueteng'

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya Provincial board member Edgardo Balgos recently condemned the proliferation of illegal
numbers game in the province.
Gambling is a game of chance where it encourages laziness among the people. It gives false hope to the people
making families as indolent citizens, he said in his privilege speech.
Balgos also called on national and local officials, the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National Bureau of
Investigation (NBI) to eliminate the illegal numbers game in the 15 towns of the province.
They are even using on-line gaming permit to give a color of authority. However, it is still illegal and immoral, he

Manugang ni Mayor Sebastian, pinagbabaril sa harap ng private school sa Santiago City

SANTIAGO CITY - Nagawa pang itakbo ang sarile ng isang Melvin Carreon Go, 43
anyos, at manugang ni Mayor Leticia Sebastian ng Jones, Isabela matapos na malapitang
pagbabarilin ng riding-in-tandem habang nakaparada sa harapan ng Little Angel Child
Devt. Center sa kahabaan ng Patul Road.
Pasado alas kuwatro ng hapon ng itinabi ng biktimang businessman ang kanyang
Toyota Hi Lux pick-up para sunduin ang kanyang 12 anyos na anak na lalaki na palabas
ng eskuwelahan.
Sa di kalayuang lugar, isang kulay itim na motorsiklo na walang plaka ang namataan
na siyang sinakyan pala ng riding-in-tandem na armado.
Hindi nagtagal biglang lumapit ang di kilalang suspek na naka-helmet at kulay asul
na jacket habang ang driver ay nakatakip ang kalahating mukha, na pilit na itinatago ang
kanilang identities dahilan sa may CCTV sa naturang eskuwelahan.
Apat na tama ng bala ng cal.45 ang tumama mismo sa braso at tiyan ni Mr. Go
habang ang 2 suspek ay kumaripas ng patakbo ng kanilang sasakyan patungo ng Brgy.
Rosario.
Tatlong araw ding namalagi si Mr. Go sa Renmar General Hospital, bantay sarado
ng mga pulis at kanyang maybahay na si Sheryll Sebastian Go kung saan sumailalim sa
maselang operasyon upang tanggalin ang pumasok na bala ng baril sa katawan.
Binigyan din ng ayuda ni Governor Bojie Dy ang pamilya ng biktima na siyang
naglaan ng seguridad para ma-airlift patungo ng Metro Manila para sa masuri ng todo
ang tinamong sugat ng biktima nasa maayos ng kalagayan.
Wala pang malinaw na motibo ang mga awtoridad at kung sino ang nasa likod ng

CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela Electric cooperatives
from Central Luzon and Ilocos Region recently sent
their equipment and manpower to help in the power
restoration activities in Lawin-hit areas particularly
in Cagayan and Isabela.
Dave Solomon Siquian, General Manager of

and are members of the Philippine Association of
Electric Cooperatives include Tarlac Electric Coop
(TARELCO), Pangasinan Electric Coop (PANELCO),

Electric Coop (PAMELCO).
Siquian said based on their partial damage assessment, there were about P60 to P70 million worth
of damaged coops electric hardwares particularly
on electric posts and lines.
He said the cost of damage, which mostly in
northern Isabela parts, may increase once the ongoing assessment is completed.
At present, a total black out is still experienced

LP asks out for help

THE Liberal Party (LP) has elevated the campaign to oust President Rodrigo Duterte, consolidating its force to make known to
the United States that an alternative to the Duterte loud mouth is
available and at the same time stepping up calls for foreign intervention against the president.
LP senators are launching a probe on Duterte capitalizing on a
statement made in his recent state visit to China that the country is
separating from the United
States.
The probe was called on
the pretext of inquiring into
the administrations foreign relations policy but is obviously
meant to add more fuel to the raging feud between Washington
and Duterte.
Dutertes opponent, Sen. Leila de Lima in an interview with
British Daily The Guardian was crying for foreign intervention
claiming that it is the only way to stop state-inspired extrajudicial killings (EJK).
De Lima who has been doing the media rounds almost daily
claimed that she fears for her life, connecting the threats on her to
the investigation she initiated on extrajudicial killings.
ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda earlier issued a statement
saying her office was watching for signs of officials ordering,
requesting, encouraging or contributing to crimes against humanity.
She encouraged the ICC to probe not only the president but
also his lieutenants, those who implement his orders.
Evidently the LP had pushed up its timetable for the oust
Duterte campaign which initially was reported to be launched by
the start of next year since the yellow mob prefers making their
move around January and February.
The Senate probe on the foreign relations policy is also a ploy
to continue the constant LP barrage on Duterte since de Limas
EJK probe has been terminated.
The goal is likely similar to the more than one year campaign
to vilify former Vice President Jojo Binay whose public acceptance
that soared even above Noynoy was slowly eroded by the constant
hurling of unsubstantiated allegations against Binay.
Of course, the other side of the coin is that de Lima and the LP
are stirring up support since the drugs scandal that Duterte is committed to end all points to their likely deep involvement.
The LP is also counting on foreign help to speed up Dutertes ouster.

Time to see a psychiatrist, Leila

SEN. Leila de Lima is so desperate these days that she is now in
a hallucinatory state, as she now
accuses former President Gloria
Arroyo, accused pork barrel
scam senators and the Iglesia ni
Cristo (INC) of allegedly using
President Rodrigo Duterte to
exact their revenge against her.
At a press briefing with Senate reporters yesterday, Leila
said powerful personalities
whom she had investigated and
charged in the past have allegedly formed political alliances to
make her life difficult.
Said she: Im referring to
personalities, especially the
powerful ones whose toes I

stepped on when I was the Justice chief, even when this was
my job to investigate.
They are high-profile cases.
Some people keep on blaming
me until now for having barred
Mrs. Arroyo from traveling. And
even the President said that I will
suffer the same fate of former
President GMA. In other words,
I will rot in jail, Leila said.
Thats proof? From what Leila
is saying, she clearly has no
proof and she is merely speculating, as usual.
In the case of Mrs. Arroyo,
Leila expounded, Gloria had
been barred from leaving for
abroad by Immigration, which is

an agency under the Department

of Justice (DoJ). This was done
despite the Supreme Court (SC)
ruling for government not to bar
her from leaving the country.
At that time, there were no
cases filed against Gloria, and
armed by the permission granting her departure, Leila issued
a watch list which she claimed
gave her the power to bar whoever she wanted. Yet Leila must
have known that her watch list
order is not a hold departure order as it is only the courts that
can issue HDOs as well as permission for persons to travel.
Gloria certainly had the SC have
her permission to leave.
De Lima, the DoJ secretary
then, claimed that her watch list
had to be enforced as the government has yet to receive a copy of
the SC order then.
Thats a blatant lie, considering the fact that the SC permit
for Gloria to leave for abroad was
all over the media, and along
with it, the fact that the Justice
Department building is right
next door to the SC building. She
knew the order was coming and
she left her office early, to avoid
getting a copy of the SC ruling.
What Leila refuses to admit
is the fact that she and Noynoy
Aquino, then President, barred
Gloria from leaving, despite her
not having been charged as yet,
and that she and then Comelec
Chairman Sixto Brillantes
quickly manufactured a charge
of electoral sabotage, which is a
non-bailable offense, to ensure
that she would be jailed.
What Leila did was deliberate, to the point of ignoring the
SC order for government not to

bar Gloria from leaving the country.

Leila also accused a lawyer
of Gloria, the INC and the Priority Development Assistance
Fund (PDAF) commonly referred
to as pork barrel senators whom
Leila selectively investigated
and filed charges before the just
as
selective
Ombudsman,
Conchita
Carpio-Morales
quickly charging them.
Leila says they are all allies
today, GMA forces, and the
PDAF senators.
I know they have people
who make her life difficult,
Leila said.
These are the forces that
have formed an alliance with the
President. They were able to access the President, which is why
they are fanning the Presidents
anger at me, helping the President for their own respective
agenda, which is also to get back
to me. Payback time is what they
think as they keep on moving
against her.
De Lima said one or two
senators charged for their involvement in the multi-billion
PDAF scam also have an ax to
grind against her.
Maybe not all three. My just
one of them. Thats based on my
own information but as I said I
cannot validate fully or conclusively, she said.
Leila recalled that in a past
confirmation hearing by the
Commission on Appointments,
one of the members opposed her
appointment and threatened to
reveal an alleged sex video.

Bigyang-linaw trahedya ng SAF 44

BALAK ni Justice Secretary
Vitaliano Aguirre na magkaroon
muli ng imbestigasyon sa
pagkamatay ng 44 na miyembro
ng Special Action Force (SAF).
Sa balak na ito ni Aguirre,
nabuhayan nang pag-asa ang
pamilya ng SAF commandos.
Para sa kanila, magkakaroon din
ng closure ang pagkamatay ng
kanilang kapamilya noong Enero
25, 2015 sa Mamasapano,
Maguindanao. Sa totoo lang ang
mga isinagawang imbestigasyon
ng Senado sa SAF 44 ay walang
nahukay na katotoha-nan at
naiwan lamang ang maraming
katanungan.
Ang
totoong
pangyayari sa Mamasapano killings ay hindi nabatid.
Sa
isinagawang
imbestigasyon ng Senado noong
Enero, naulit lamang ang
pagtuturuan ng military general
at mga dating opisyal ng Philippine National Police na may
kinalaman sa Oplan Exodus.
Itinuturo ng military general ang
dating- hepe ng Special Action
Force na hindi naki-pag-coordinate sa kanila kaya hindi
nabigyan o napadalhan ng
tulong
habang
nakikipagbakbakan sa Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) at
Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom
Fighters (BIFF). Pero itinanggi

iyon ng dating hepe, maaga pa

lamang umano ay humingi na
siya ng artillery support sa AFP,
pero walang dumating na tulong.
Dahil hindi nasaklolohan,
nalagas ang 44 na miyembro ng
SAF. Ang 44 ang nagsilbing
blockingforce
sa
mga
sumalakay
sa
kubo
ng
teroristang si Marwan. Napatay
si Marwan.
Halos pitong oras na
nakipaglaban ang SAF 44 sa

What Leila does not say is the
fact that Estrada, in the end, no
longer opposed her confirmation.
Obviously, Leila has become
too paranoid and having too
many hallucinations.
What is clear is that it is
Rody Duterte who has been vocal against her on the illegal
drugs trade in the New Bilibid
Prison.
Is Liela claiming that these
persons she accuses who are fan-

ning Dutertes anger against her?

One need only to see that
Dutertes anger at her is clearly
fueled by whatever Leila says
against him first.
It is time for Leila to see a
psychiatrist. She probably needs
medication immediately.
This is the problem when
one is caught doing illegal and
could no longer defend themselves, they presume to be insane.
De Lima is not spared from
this, she is actually trying to
make issues after issues to divert the attention of the people
from her.

panukala ni Quezon City Congressman Winston Castelo na

ibigay na sa unang linggo ng
Nobyembre ang 13th month pay
o bonus ng mga pribadong
kompanya sa kanilang mga
emple-yado. Tama ang sabi
niyang mas mabuti kung
maibigay ito ng mas maaga para
maplano
ng
ating
mga
kababayan ang kanilang mga
bibilihin. Alam naman natin na
habang papalapit ang Pasko ay
tumataas ang presyo ng mga
bilihin at kung minsan ay
nagkakaubusan pa ng stocks.
Sa ganitong paraan ang ating
mga
kababayan
ay
may
pagkakataong piliin ang mga
gustong bilhin para sa kanilang
pamilya. Lalo pa ngayon na
sabay-sabay ang mga sale sa
mall. Marami silang mabibiling
pang-regalo. Maiiwasan din ang
rambulan sa pamilihan.
Ang problema sa ating mga
Pilipino laging last mi-nute kung
gumalaw. Kahit sa pagbabayad
ng buwis at ibang bayarin, kung
kailan malapit na ang deadline

saka
nagkukumahog
magsipagbayad. Ganun din sa
pamimili kung kailan maraming
tao saka nakikipagsa-bayan at
ang resulta matinding trapik.
Ngayong taon, kumilos tayo
nang mas maaga para maiwasan
ang matinding siksikan na
lalong
tumitindi
habang
papalapit ang Pasko. Kapag
pinakinggan ng employers ang
pakiusap
ni
Castelo,
mababawasan ang pagsisikip ng
trapiko at siksikan ng mga tao sa
mall lalo na sa Metro Manila.
Para sa akin, maganda ang
panukalang maibigay ng mas
maaga ang bonus ng mga
manggagawa.
Sa kabila nito, ito ay isa nang
batas. Mabuting ma-ibigay na ito
nang maaga sa kanilang mga
empleyado para maiwasan ang
carmageddon sa pagpasok ng
Disyembre.
Ang mga negosyante rito sa
atin at sa ibat ibang bansa na
rito nakabase ay puwede natin
silang tawaging Santa Claus in
November. Hindi ba ayos?

Relief, rehab efforts in full

swing in typhoon-hit provinces
Sometimes God Changes Our Plans

...continuation
WHEN Paul says we are not to be yoked together with unbelievers and we
are to have nothing to do with believers who continually live in sinHes
sayingprotect your holinessguard your heartDo not be misledbad
company corrupts good morals. (1 Cor. 15:33)
At Corinth, sin from the outside influenced the churchbut the most
destructive sin came from apathetic so called believers that condoned
sin and maliciously attacks a leader who was broken hearted for his spiritual childrenPaul wasnt fickleHe was waiting for God to workGod
always deals with sinits never hidden before his eyes.
3. Team up. In verse 18 Paul says For the Son of God, Jesus Christ,
who was preached among you by us (not me, but us!) by me, Silas and
Timothy.
Make sure you have a Silas and Timothy in your life. True friends you
are mentoring and sharing life with. Make sure your focus is on others for
Christ and not your small groupand with your Silas and Timothy or Peter, James and John you can survive almost anything and boldly witness
the good news in the midst of sin and rebellion. Three mirrors reflecting
the glory of Jesus is better than one.
II. GOD MAY CHANGE OUR PLANS BUT HIS NEVER DO. Gods plan
will always be the salvation of mankind.that means His desire is for your
son, daughter, friend, co-worker, neighbor and people around the world to
come to Jesus.
And God doesnt desire for anyone to be lostHes working through
His Holy Spirit and us as His messengers until Jesus returns to accomplish
that plan. This is exactly what Paul meant when he writesGod might change
my plansbut His will always be Yes, in Christ. He is the Amen spoken to you by us. The word Amen means So be it.
The most important question I can end with is: Are you and I living
lives with the plan of God as our goal?
Ignorant and unstable people distorted Pauls message and attacked
his lifeto their own destruction. Peter warns some believers will be misled by this error and fall from their secure positionHis challenge: Keep
growing in grace. Keep growing in the knowledge of Christ.
Youll never influence your family for Christ if youre arguing about
the minister s changing plans. But isnt that what Satan does in the life of
many believers? Instead of our focus being that Jesus is the Yes of salvation and the Amen of Gods unchanging plansomething happens
that we dont like or makes us unhappyand our energies become focused
on these non-essentials. This scared Paul, it scared Peter and it scares me,
because once this happens, restoring Jesus as the priority can only hap...the end
pen through a Holy Spirit revival.

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan - The Department of Social Welfare and Development

(DSWD) regional office and all rescue operatives are still conducting relief distribution and
clearing operations all over the typhoon-hit areas in the Cagayan Valley region.
Based on the latest report of the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
(RDRRMC) here, there were 535 totally damaged houses and 5,287 partially damaged
houses in Cagayan and Isabela areas.
There were some reported casualties, however, the council is still verifying them considering the hardship in generating reports now due to telecommunication line problems.
As of press time, local officials are still verifying the extent of the damages as there are
still some areas that are isolated of flooding and landslides.
No power and water services here as of this time.
Some schools in Isabela and this province were also severly damaged by Lawin,
Department of Education (DepEd) Regional Director Estela Cario reported.
Cario said based on the initial assessment of the division superintendents, there are
three school buildings severely damaged while many are partially damaged.
DSWD Assistant Regional Director Lucia Alan said they have enough stockpile of
food and non-food items ready for distribution to all affected towns regionwide.
Alan said repacking of relief goods is still ongoing at the DSWD regional office to
replenish the already prepositioned and distributed relief packs prior to and after the
typhoon.
There will be two C130 planes to deliver relief goods in the region today, one will be for
Isabela and one for this province.
Vice President Leni Robredo, DSWD Sec Judy Taguiwalo and two Undersecretaries of
the Department of National Defense are also expected to visit this city and Isabela today to
distribute relief goods to typhoon-affected families .
Governor Manuel Mamba here suspended all classes in all levels for both private and
public schools all over the province today.
Mamba, however, required all offices both private and government institutions to
report to their respective offices until 12 noon today to check on the condition of their
respective work places.
The Isabela-Manila road is now open to all vehicles after clearing operations conducted by concerned agencies yesterday while the Nueva Vizcaya-Baguio road is still
unkown.
In general assessment conducted by local officials in Nueva Vizcaya, the province has
been spared of Lawin's wrath due to mountains surrounding the province.
Nueva Vizcaya's provincial DRRM also reported zero casualty all over the province.

Dutertes Japan, China gambit to create 2.4 million jobs, labor group says
BIG workers group the Associated Labor Unions
(ALU) said around 2.4 million jobs, particularly in the
construction sector, would
be created by a raft of prospective
investment
projects worth $15 billion
made between China and
Philippines during the recent visit of President
Duterte in Beijing last week.
In his two-day trip to
Tokyo beginning yesterday, Duterte is expected to
close the deal for the financing for the envisioned
Mindanao Railway project.
These projects are
expansive and comprehensive that if it pushes
through we estimate it
would create an immediate
2.4 million jobs for Filipinos over a period of three

years. If these are constructed altogether at the

same time, we might need
additional skills especially
those skilled Filipino
OFWs repatriated from
Saudi Arabia as a result of
Saudization, said Alan
Tanjusay, spokesperson of
the ALU.
These investment
pacts are thus far the most
substantial and very strategic ever to be built in the
country in most recent
years following the shift of
Duterte administration to
pursue an independent
foreign policy.
Aside from much
needed railways, roads and
bridges, the investment
agreement also plans to
build strategic communications and logistics hubs

designed to spur development activities in the countrysides and stimulate the

rural economy and employment opportunities.
Aside from Filipino
construction workers who
would directly benefit from
these investments, we are
looking at the allied job opportunities that will be cre-

ated as a result of the construction of projects. Small

and medium businesses
will start to converge
around these projects to
cater to the needs of the
workers, engineers, architects, etc and as well as the
material needs of the
projects itself, Tanjusay
said.

The Saudization
policy of the Saudi Arabia
government is the giving of
priority and preference to
local Saudis on employment opportunities. An estimated 700,000 skilled and
professional Filipino workers are being affected by
the phenomenon since it
was implemented in June

2011.

In the Labor Force

Survey released on January this year, 7.6% of the
40 million workforce are employed in the construction
sector. In other hand, the
same survey showed there
are 7.881 million unemployed and 2.468 million
underemployed Filipinos.

Nueva Vizcaya posts zero casualty from Lawin

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya Typhoon Lawin left
damages to crops and infrastructure here but did not
claim casualties.
With its strong winds deflected by the provinces
mountain shields of Caraballo, Sierra Madre and Cordillera ranges, Lawin failed to make a heavy toll on houses
and other infrastructure projects.
The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (PDRRMO) reported a zero casualty rate
after the typhoon.
Genaro Basilio, Jr., acting PDRRM officer, said they
are in the process of consolidating the damages of both
typhoon Karen and Lawin.
Because of the typhoons that happened this week,
we may have damages and degree pf affectation that
would merit the declaration of a state of calamity, he
said.

Basilio, however, said that the province was generally

spared by the typhoon because of pre-emptive evacuation efforts made by local government units and barangay
officials.
Relief assistance is available at the provincial government should municipalities and barangays affected need
them. They only need to provide us a report of their respective communities, Basilio said.
The national highway from Diadi to Sta. Fe towns is
passable to all types of vehicles with light to moderate
traffic due to road works along portions of the Maharlika
highway.
A landslide which occurred on Thursday at PutlanMinuli road section stalled commuters but it was declared
open after the clearing operations done by the Department
of Public Works and Highwways (DPWH). Ben Moses

Ayon sa Chairman ng PDRRMC, dalawang beses ng

sinalanta ng magkasunod na kalamidad ang Isabela halos
tatlong araw lang ang pagitan ng bagyon Karen at Lawin.
Anya hindi pa man nakakabawi ang kanyang mga
kababayan sa katatapos na bagyong Karen, muling
pinaghandaan ng PDRRMC ang mas malakas na Super
Typhoon Lawin(HAIMA).
Sa loob ng 3 araw matapos umeksit sa Karen sa Batanes
Island, ilang beses na pinulong ni Dy ang kanyang konseho
bilang paghahanda sa mas mabigat na bagyong itinayang
nasa layong 900kms sa Pacific Ocean at may bilis na 26
kilometers kada oras.
Hindi na halos maka-ugaga ang gobernador kung ano
ang kanilang uunahing hakbang lalo nat naglabas na ang
PDRRMC ng mga kaukulang paunang hakbang upang
maiwasan ang posibleng mataas na bilang ng biktima ni
Lawin kung hindi magbabago ng puwersang 315 kms. per
hour ang lakas ng bugso ng hangin-itinuturing na Super
Typhoon Haima.
Pinakamatinding hinagupit ni Lawin ang bahagi ng
Cauayan City, maraming lugar ng barangay ang binaha,
libo ang inilikas na pamilya habang malaking halaga ng
pananim ang lubog sa tubig baha.
Mula sa susunod na bayan ng Reina Mercedes,
Naguilian, Gamu, Ilagan City hanggang sa mga bayan ng
Roxas, Burgos, Quirino, Mallig at Quezon ay hindi rin
nakaligtas sa matinding pagbaha at pagkasira ng mga
pananim.
Ang mga bayan sa First District ng Isabela-ang
nasasakupang congressional district ni Cong. Rodito
Albano lll, libong biktima din ng flash flood ang lumubog
kung kaya maagang nagpa-utos ng force evacuation si
Governor Bojie Dy upang maiwasan ang malunod ang
kanilang mga pamilya.
Nakadikit kasi sa gilid ng kahabaan ng Cagayan River
ang mga bayan ng Ilagan City, Tumauini, Delfin Albano,
Cabagan, Sta. Maria, San Pablo hanggang sa Tuguegarao
City.
Kasabay nito, muling nagpawala ng malaking volume
ng tubig ang Magat Irrigation and Power System sa Ramon,
Isabela na siyang nakadagdag sa laki ng tubig baha sa
Cagayan River patungo sa mga nabanggit na mga bayan
ng Isabela at Cagayan.
October 19, 2016 ng magpalabas ng No Classess all
levels noon ang PDRRMC hanggang sa mga araw ng October 21 private at public schools na naglalayong
mapangalagaan ang kaligtasan ng mga mag-aaral sanhi ng
inaasahang dulot ni Super Typoon Lawin sa buong
Hilagang Isabela.
Muling nanawagan si Dy sa mga barangay officials at
local chief executives na makiisa ang lahat na maging
mapagmatyag at sumunod sa lahat ng kautusang Executive Orders para na rin sa kanilang kapakanan.
Sa tindi ng hagupit ni Lawin, tanging iisa ang nasawi
sa bayan ng Palanan-isang CAFGU militiaman ang
nabagsakan ng malaking puno ng kahoy na siyang kanyang
maagang ikinamatay. Valley Hot News/dzRH news, jgd
