Heavy rains over Visayas and Mindanao

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Thursday that a low pressure area (LPA) will bring heavy rains over Visayas and Mindanao and residents are advised on possible flashfloods and landslides.

PAGASA said as of 4 a.m. the LPA was spotted at 180 km southeast of Hinatuan, Surigao Del Sur (8.0°N, 128.0°E) but has a small chance to intensify into tropical cyclone.

In case the LPA intensifies into a tropical depression, it will be named "Dante," the fourth tropical cyclone to enter the Philippine area of responsibility this year.

PAGASA said the regions of Eastern and Central Visayas, Caraga and Davao will experience cloudy skies with moderate to occasionally heavy rainshowers and thunderstorms which may trigger flashfloods and landslides. The Bicol region and the rest of Visayas and Mindanao will be cloudy with light to moderate rainshowers.

The weather agency said that Luzon including Metro Manila will continue to experience generally good weather except for isolated thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon.

PAGASA added that moderate to strong winds from the east to northeast will prevail over the eastern section of Visayas and of Mindanao and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Sourcing of Agricultural Products

DAVAO CITY, Feb. 19, 2020 -- The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) signed partnership agreements on Monday, February 17, 2020, with various government agencies and a private institution for the sourcing of agricultural products from agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARB) in this province. These institutions are the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Region XI, Department of Health Region XI, Davao Regional Medical Center, Southern Philippines Medical Center, and Medical Mission Group Hospital which all agreed to assist in the government’s fight against hunger and poverty in the countryside under the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty program (EPAHP).
