The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has distributed over P745 million worth of humanitarian assistance to drought-affected areas in the Philippines, as the country faces the threat of a very strong El Niño phenomenon. According to DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao, the aid includes family food packs and emergency cash transfers to farmers in regions such as Isabela, Cagayan, Dinagat Islands, Northern Samar, Mountain Provinces, Camarines Norte, and Catanduanes. The state weather bureau PAGASA has warned of a potentially record-breaking El Niño, with reduced rainfall expected by October, which could last until March or June. Dumlao emphasized that DSWD continues to preposition food packs in warehouses and has deployed specialized disaster equipment, including water filtration and water trucks, to areas in need of water supply. Additionally, the agency is implementing Project LAWA and Project BINHI, which provide cash-for-work and cash-for-training programs to help vulnerable communities build small reservoirs and plant climate-resilient crops. Around 40 provinces are expected to experience reduced rainfall during the dry spell, with this number projected to rise to 80 by January. The DSWD's efforts aim to mitigate the impact of the ongoing El Niño on vulnerable populations, ensuring food security and water access for affected communities.

Year after year, Catanduanes in the Bicol Region stands on the frontlines of the fiercest storms. Known as the "Land of the Howling Winds," the island province lies directly along the western Pacific typhoon belt, making it one of the first areas in the Philippines to bear the brunt of powerful typhoons, torrential rains, and storm surges.Recognizing the urgent need to strengthen disaster preparedness in one of the country's most disaster-prone provinces, PLDT, Smart, and the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), through Australian Aid-funded Project REACHED (Resilient Emergency Communications for Enhanced Disaster Response) recently marked July as the National Disaster Resilience Month by turning over Ligtas Kits to three vulnerable barangays in Virac, Catanduanes, Barangays Balite, Simamla, and Talisoy, strengthening the disaster preparedness capability of the municipality.The PLDT and Smart Ligtas Kit is a portable, all-in-one emergency communication and power package that includes a power station, solar panel, smartphone, crank radio, pocket WiFi, emergency lights, FM radio, and charging accessories, essential tools for maintaining communication and power during critical situations.
