BINABANTAYAN ang isa na namang Low Pressure Area (LPA) na inaasahang papasok ng Philippine Area of Responsibility ngayong gabi.

Huli itong namataan sa layong 1,385 km ng east of Central Luzon.

Ayon kay DOST-PAGASA Weather Specialist Grace Castañeda – Carpio, posibleng maging bagyo ang nasabing LPA habang binabaybay nito ang karagatang silangan ng Luzon. Gayunman, posibleng magkaroon din ng sirkulasyon sa kanluran ng Northern Luzon sa mga susunod na oras.

Sinabi ni Carpio na isa sa mga ito ang posibleng mabuo na bagyo at papangalanang Neneng. Ang isa naman ay magiging trough na lamang ng dominanteng weather system.

Sa pagtaya ng PAGASA, posibleng tumbukin ng potensiyal na bagyo ang Taiwan at maaaring direktang maapektuhan ang Batanes.

Inaasahan din na ang sirkulasyon na ito ang magpapalakas ng habagat na magdadala ng mga pag-ulan sa malaking bahagi ng bansa.

Pinapayuhan ang lahat na maging handa, alerto, at mag-antabay sa updates na ilalabas ng PAGASA.

Apayao Congressional representative Eleanor Bulut-Begtang awarded cash incentives to the oldest and youngest completers or graduates of the first batch of the ADAL Plus Program in the province of Apayao.

Bulut-Begtang was among the officials who congratulated the 89 completers and graduates during the ADAL Plus Program graduation and moving up ceremonies at the BGV Jr. Memorial Sports Complex in Luna, Apayao on Friday, August 7, 2026.

She commended the completers and graduates of the first batch of ADAL Plus Program or the ADAL Plus Program or the Academic Development Through Alternative Learning Promoting Leadership, Upskilling and Sustainability for Barangay Officials Program.

The lawmaker made special mention to her fellow senior citizens who, despite their ages, chose to take part in the pilot implementation of the program, that led them to finishing their elementary and junior high school studies through the ADAL Plus Program.

The program aims to benefit barangay officials and workers from all the barangays across Apayao, particularly those who were unable to complete elementary or secondary education, as part of the province’s efforts to strengthen and professionalize barangay leadership.
