For the latest Philippine news stories and videos, visit GMANews.TV Roads and damage Baguio remained isolated on Saturday as the three major roads that link the upland resort city to lowland provinces— Kennon Road, Marcos Highway and Naguilian Road — were closed by landslides.
Buad Bridge and Manila North Road Km 211+109 at the boundary of La Union and Pangasinan collapsed. In Pangasinan, motorists going north were advised to take the following detour routes: Camiling Road going to Dagupan, Lingayen, and Binmaley; and Urdaneta and Binalonan going to Manaoag. In Zambales, floodwaters have subsided in the towns of Iba, San Miguel, and Botolan. Vehicles can now pass through the Carael Highway.

Relief operations, meanwhile, were in full blast in evacuation centers all over Pangasinan and other places where tens of thousands of people have been displaced by floods.
Power failure continued to be experienced in some areas in Ilocos Norte due to damaged cable wires and fallen trees.
Power interruption was noted in the towns of Santa, Magsingal, San Juan, Cabugao, Sinait, Lidlidda and San Emilio.

Benguet gov asks for more caskets
MANILA - Additional caskets and embalmers are badly needed in Benguet as more bodies have been exhumed from areas hit by landslides during the onslaught of tropical depression Pepeng (international codename Parma), the provincial governor said Saturday.
"What we need here are embalmers, caskets. There is a shortage in caskets," Benguet Governor Nestor Fongwan announced over ANC television.
The governor said that as of noontime, a total of 148 bodies have been recovered from several areas hit by landslides in the province. He said majority of the bodies were recovered from two major landslide sites in La Trinidad and Buguias towns.
He said at least 20 more people remained missing in La Trinidad and a number of landslide victims in Buguias town have yet to be accounted for.
"We are doing everything that we can for the moment with limited resources and manpower," he said. He added that the weather in the province has improved, allowing them to step up retrieval and relief operations.
The Office of Civil Defense in Cordillera, meanwhile, reported that 62 people have been confirmed killed in 11 landslides in Baguio City and 19 more in Mountain Province.
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro, concurrent chairman of the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), meanwhile reported that the agency has confirmed 184 deaths from Pepeng as of Saturday morning.
Teodoro said 134 of the official death count came from Benguet and 33 more from La Union. He said there were also 2 confirmed deaths in Ifugao, 2 in Nueva Ecija, one in Quezon, one in Camarines Sur and 6 in Pangasinan.
Teodoro said the NDCC has yet to assess the damage caused by Pepeng's onslaught in northern Luzon as they were still "heavily into rescue and immediate emergency response."
"The assessment will be done as soon as it is feasible," he said at a press briefing at the NDCC headquarters in Quezon City.
The NDCC data did not include the cost of damage of the typhoon on agriculture and infrastructure. Majority of the areas hit by floods in northern Luzon are rice-producing provinces, including Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija.
Latest reports said 38 towns in Pangasinan and 13 municipalities and cities in Nueva Ecija remained flooded. Several areas in Tarlac province, Pampanga, La Union and Baguio City were also still submerged in floods.
Timely donation from Japan
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) on Saturday said the Japan government has donated US$4.5 for the relief and rehabilitation efforts for the victims of Pepeng and tropical storm Ondoy (international codename Ketsana).
"The contribution, the largest to date in support of WFP's flood relief efforts, will be used to buy 6,700 metric tons of rice-enough to assist the efforts to provide food assistance to 670,000 people for one month. It will also help to ensure that WFP's three emergency relief helicopters remain airborne over the course of the next month to facilitate a swift and coordinated response by the Government of the Philippines and other humanitarian agencies," the WFP said in a statement.
Stephen Anderson, WFP country director, told reporters at a briefing with Teodor at the NDCC headquaters that at least $10-million in donations have been collected by the aid group through its flash appeal for the typhoon victims in the country.
Teodoro said the cash donation from Japan would go "a long, long way" and will be used to "help people get up on their feet and rebuild their lives." He said part of the money will also be used by the government to improve its disaster response in the future.
Rescue in full blast
Military spokesman Lt. Col. Ernesto Torres earlier said Teodoro has ordered the military to focus on rescue operations in northern Luzon, where thousands more needed to be evacuated from heavily flooded areas.
Torres said troops deployed for relief operations in Metro Manila are being diverted to northern Luzon to help rescue operations in Pangasinan and nearby provinces and the retrieval operations in Cordillera region, particularly in Benguet province and Baguio City.
"Our focus is on rescue operations. That is our mandate right now. Troops in Metro Manila will be brought to [northern] Luzon," the military spokesman said.
The NDCC said rescue teams, including US troops, were spread in several areas in regions 1, 2 and 3.
It said a platoon from the Army's 50th Infantry Battalion was helping in the evacuations in La Union province, which was also hit by landslides and floods during Pepeng's onslaught.
Several retrieval teams were also dispatched to assist in the operations in Cordillera and evacuation teams in Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur.
Arevalo said majority of the troops deployed in northern Luzon were deployed to Pangasinan, which went under floods as high as 20 feet, according to reports.
The Philippine Coast Guard has also stepped up rescue operations in Pangasinan, particularly in the municipalities of San Fabian, Sta. Barbara and Mangaldan. San Roque Dam not broken
Officials, meanwhile, on Saturday morning denied news circulating around Pangasinan that the San Roque Dam has been broken.
The news warned against massive flashfloods, sending several residents in panic.
Presidential Management Staff chief Hermogenes Esperon told radio dzMM that he has personally inspected the dam, and it remained "strong, and will never be broken."
Tom Valdez, vice president of the San Roque Power Corp., also assured that the dam remains “strong and firm” despite the high volume of water it has been carrying since the storm slammed into northern Luzon.
“The San Roque dam is intact. There is no crack. There will be no dam break,” Valdez assured.
Susan Espinueva, chief of PAGASA's hydrometeorological unit, also denied the rumors. She said that as of 7 a.m., the dam's water level has lowered to 288.7 meters and it has lowered its water release to 1,659 cubic meters per second.
Espinueva explained that the dam's management has succeeded in keeping the water level under the critical level of 290 meters.

Über 630 Tote nach Unwettern auf den Philippinen

Nach neuen schweren Unwettern auf den Philippinen ist die Gesamtzahl der Todesopfer auf mehr als 630 gestiegen. Allein der jüngste Taifun, «Parma», forderte fast 300 Menschenleben. Wie viele Leichen noch unter Geröll und Schlammlawinen begraben lagen, ist ungewiss.

Zwei Jungen haben in den Trümmern ihres Hauses verwertbare Gegenstände zusammengesucht.




Viele Gebiete sind nach der zweiwöchigen Katastrophenserie weiterhin von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten. Eine positive Nachricht kam unterdessen aus der Provinz Benguet: Helfer befreiten dort am Samstag sechs Überlebende aus dem Schlamm.
Die Behörden zählten offiziell 293 Tote im Zuge der Unwetter, die allein Taifun «Parma» über die Philippinen brachte. Vor zwei Wochen hatte bereits der Tropensturm «Ketsana» in der Hauptstadt Manila und Umgebung mindestens 337 Menschenleben gefordert.
In La Trinidad, wo ein Erdrutsch Dutzende Häuser weggerissen hatte, machte Bürgermeister Artemio Galwan am Sonntag wenig Hoffnung auf weitere Wunder. Er forderte am Sonntag mehr Leichensäcke und Särge an. Seine Bergungsteams fanden nur Leichen. «Es ist gut, dass die Sonne herausgekommen ist», sagte er. «Die Helfer konnten zu mehr Häusern vordringen, die teils völlig unter dem Schlamm begraben waren.» Abrutschende Hänge hatten das Dorf Little Kibungan bei La Trinidad fast völlig dem Erdboden gleichgemacht.
Die Straßen nach Baguio auf der im Norden gelegenen Insel Luzon standen auch am Sonntag noch unter Wasser. Brücken waren teils zerstört. Dicke Stämme versperrten manche Straßen, da Bäume nach dem Dauerregen im nassen Boden keinen Halt mehr hatten und umstürzten.
Die Rettungsdienste warfen aus tief fliegenden Helikoptern Hilfspakete für die Bevölkerung ab. In Fernsehen waren hunderte Menschen zu sehen, die durch hüfttiefes Wasser waten mussten, um die Pakete aufzusammeln. «Das wichtigste ist, die Straßen freizubekommen, um Hilfstransporte auf den Weg zu bringen», sagte Verteidigungsminister Gilberto Teodoro.
In den abgeschnittenen Provinzen wurde das Benzin knapp. In der Stadt Naguilan waren hunderte Menschen barfuß kilometerweit unterwegs, um Nahrungsmittel einzukaufen. «Wir hatten nichts mehr zu essen, auch kein Benzin, deshalb sind wir auf gut Glück losgegangen», sagte Alfredo Napigan, der mit seiner Frau, seiner Tochter und Enkelin unterwegs war.
Napigan erzählte, das Haus seines Sohnes sei zerstört, Kinder und vier Enkel seien zu ihm gekommen. Sein Haus stehe aber auch nur noch zur Hälfte. In der nahe gelegenen Ortschaft Caba war eine Frau dabei, das Grab ihres Vaters zu säubern. «Selbst unsere Toten sind vor der Zerstörung nicht sicher», sagte sie.
In den vergangenen zwei Wochen sind mehr als vier Millionen Menschen auf den Philippinen durch Unwetterkatastrophen betroffen gewesen. Viele saßen am Sonntag noch unter menschenunwürdigen Umständen in ihren Häusern und Dörfern fest. Fast 300 000 lebten in Notunterkünften. Die Gesundheitsbehörden fürchteten den Ausbruch von Krankheiten in den beengten Behausungen.

Jetzt fliege ich nächsten Monat erst recht in die Phils. Ich kann so auch meinen Beitrag für einen Wiederaufbau leisten und lieber etwas mehr Kohle in den Phils ausgeben als in Thailand. Die benötigen es wohl mehr in dieser Situation.

62 towns in CLuzon, nation's rice granary, still flooded
GMANews.TV - Wednesday, October 14SendIM StoryPrint.Three days after Typhoon Pepeng exited Philippine territory, vast areas in central Luzon remain flooded, with the nation's leading palay-producing province, Nueva Ecija, suffering from the most widespread flooding. Arayat town in Pampanga province - without the media attention directed at other towns - is enduring the deepest floodwaters, up to seven feet. Data culled by GMA News Research from the Regional Office of Civil Defense for Central Luzon showed that as of Tuesday 23 out of Nueva Ecija's 32 towns, or nearly 72 percent, are still dealing with floods, although the waters are less than a foot deep or not as bad as those in adjacent towns of nearby provinces. Mapping by GMA News Research. Labeled towns have the deepest floodwaters.

In 2008, Nueva Ecija topped the nation in rice production with 1,372,378 metric tons, more than 300,000 metric tons more than second leading producer Isabela. Nueva Ecija also led the nation in onion production. A close study of the map shows that the provinces of Tarlac, Pampanga, and Bulacan still have a total of 11 towns that are submerged in at least two feet of water.

These include the towns of Arayat, Bacolor, Masantol, San Luis, Macabebe and Sto. Tomas in Pampanga; La Paz, Paniqui, Moncada and San Manuel in Tarlac province; and Calumpit in Bulacan province.

Tarlac is the country's seventh leading rice producer with over a half million metric tons in 2008.

In Pampanga, Arayat town suffered the worst flooding, with five of its barangays (villages) submerged in six to seven-foot deep floodwaters. This was followed by Bacolor and Masantol towns.

In Bulacan, Calumpit town was flooded by at least four feet, while in Tarlac, La Paz town remained submerged in at least three feet.

Meanwhile, floods in the following areas (orange) have already receded: Palayan City, Nueva Ecija; Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija; Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija; Licab, Nueva Ecija; Sta. Ana, Pampanga; and Guagua, Pampanga. The following table shows a summary of the flooded areas in Central Luzon: Data as of 8 a.m., October 13, 2009

"Affected populations" are those in towns where the water may not have been deep, but entered homes and forced people to evacuate. - GMANews.TV with GMA News Research

Philippines on high alert ahead of Typhoon Lupit
Slideshow: Faces of Asia PH
MANILA (AFP) - – The Philippine military deployed boats and helicopters to the northern Philippines Monday, officials said, as Typhoon Lupit threatened more devastation after two storms claimed nearly 1,000 lives.
"We have been pre-positioning food and transportation assets in areas likely to be hit by the typhoon," Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro told reporters.
The navy said it had sent 18 rubber boats, as well as trucks, amphibious vehicles and helicopters to areas of the nation's main Luzon island, which is expected to start being lashed by Lupit from the middle of this week.
The army said troops from its engineering units were also being deployed to the north, while the air force said rescue helicopters had already been sent to areas in Lupit's projected path.
