Tropical Depression USMAN and the Heavy Rainfall Event of 28-29 December 2018
Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Weather Division TROPICAL CYCLONE REPORT Tropical Depression USMAN and the Heavy Rainfall Event of 28-29 December 2018 st Tropical Depression USMAN is the 21 and last Philippine tropical cyclone for the 2018 season and only tropical cyclone within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) for the month of December 2018. As a tropical depression during its entire lifespan, USMAN did not bear any international name from the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) in Tokyo. Although relatively weak by meteorological standards, this tropical depression was one of the key weather systems that caused the Heavy Rainfall Event of 28-29 December 2018 over large portions of Southern Luzon and Eastern Visayas that resulted in hundreds of casualties and millions of pesos in damages to personal and public property. Meteorological History USMAN developed from a tropical disturbance embedded within a near-equatorial buffer zone (Conover and Sadler 1960; Ramage 1995) situated over the western portion of the Caroline Islands. This disturbance was first noted on the surface weather chart in the afternoon of 23 December 2018. PAGASA first noted the disturbance as a tropical depression at 2:00 PM of 25 December with maximum winds of 45 km/h and central pressure of 1002 hPa as the system approached Palau. USMAN entered the PAR at 3:00 PM of the same day. (a) (b) Fig. 1. (a) Himawari-8 RGB composite image at 2:00 PM on 28 December and (b) DOST-PAGASA warning best track of Tropical Depression USMAN.

Philippine Distribution Code 2016 Edition, with the Following Salient Features
PHILIPPINEPHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION DISTRIBUTION CODE CODE 2014 201EDITION6 EDITION November 2016 iv FOREWORD As the Philippine economy continues to grow, the demand for sufficient, stable, safe and reliable supply of electricity by business industries and households steadily increases. It is imperative that as the country expands its power generation capacity both in terms of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, the development, operation and maintenance of electric power distribution facilities meet the technical standards, rules and regulations to ensure a safe, reliable and efficient Distribution System in the country. The Philippine Distribution Code (PDC) 2016 Edition is the result of several years of technical review, analysis, and coordination work among the members and technical staff of the Distribution Management Committee, Inc. (DMC), in close collaboration with the stakeholders of the power distribution sector and guidance of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). In the exercise of its mandate “to initiate and coordinate revisions of the Philippine Distribution Code and make recommendations to the Energy Regulatory Commission” (Section 2.2.1 (e), PDC 2001), the Distribution Management Committee, Inc. (DMC) initiated the review of the PDC in 2010 and invited Users of the Distribution System to propose amendments to the PDC. A thorough evaluation by the DMC and expository hearings and public consultations with stakeholders were then conducted in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Moreover, with a vision of establishing an up-to-date set of national technical standards and guidelines that will serve as national code for Users of the Distribution System, the PDC 2016 Edition has taken into account the adoption in the Philippines of new and emerging technologies including Variable Renewable Energy (VRE), as well as best practices and experiences of foreign jurisdictions in the use of these technologies.

The 2010 budget deficit is estimated at between PhP315 billion to PhP320 billion (roughly US$7billion), within the 3.9% of GDP ceiling programmed for the year due to spending restraint and lower-than-expected financing costs.

Updates on the Implementation of Laws
Republic of the Philippines Senate Pasay City UPDATES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS (as of May 31, 2013) Fourteenth & Fifteenth Congress 1 PREFACE A law that successfully hurdles the legislative mill is a great achievement. But for all the tedious work that goes into the act of legislation, a law passed by Congress is rendered meaningless if it remains nothing more than a signed document on paper. In other words, if the law is not implemented, it becomes a “dead letter law.” There is therefore a need to continuously monitor and review the implementation of laws. It is in the interest of the citizens to check whether concerned agencies of the government have complied with the requirements, and if the corresponding Implementing Rules and Regulations have been issued. This is to ensure that stakeholders are able to maximize the benefits that these laws were originally designed to provide. This handbook contains a report on the implementation of laws passed during the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Congress. It aims to provide reference materials for Senators, Senate officials and other interested parties about the laws being implemented by different government departments, including their instrumentalities and agencies. It seeks to shed light on the reasons why some laws are not being fully carried out, as well as the problems encountered by the government agencies concerned in their implementation. We sincerely hope that this humble report would serve as a useful guide to everyone who may have the opportunity to use it. Atty. Crisante J. del Mundo Executive-Legislative Liaison Service Office of the External Affairs & Relations 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Fourteenth Congress I.

Typhoon ROSITA (YUTU / 1826) Summary Report
Typhoon ROSITA (YUTU / 1826) Summary Report Typhoon ROSITA is the 18th tropical cyclone (TC) that entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in 2018 and also the 2nd TC for the month of October. The international name “YUTU” was contributed by China, which refers to the „rabbit‟ character in a Chinese story. ROSITA formed (became a tropical depression, TD) over the islands of Micronesia on 21 October 2018 (Philippine Standard Time, PST). The next day, the system intensified into a tropical storm (TS) and then became a severe tropical storm (STS) 12 hours later. On 23 October at 8:00 PM, ROSITA attained typhoon (TY) category. Favorable atmospheric conditions allowed the typhoon to reach its peak intensity of 210 km/h in just a short period of time. At 12:00 AM PST on 25 October, ROSITA made landfall over the islands of Tinian and southern Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands while maintaining peak intensity. Then, it weakened momentarily as it moved further away from the Islands. The typhoon entered the PAR on 27 October at 6:30 AM PST. It re-intensified momentarily to 200 km/h, but its intensity began to decline a several hours later. Its maximum winds dropped to 150 km/h just before making landfall in Dinapigue, Isabela at 4:00 AM PST on 30 October. The rugged terrain of Northern Luzon and unfavorable atmospheric conditions caused ROSITA to weaken into a STS upon emerging into the coastal waters of La Union. The system left the PAR at 2:00 PM PST on 31 October as a tropical storm.

View Country Assessment Report for Philippines
COUNTRY ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR THE PHILIPPINES Strengthening of Hydrometeorological Services in Southeast Asia ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This Country Assessment Report for the Philippines is part of a study that aimed to strengthen the hydro- meteorological services in Southeast Asia. The production was a collaborative effort of the World Bank, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), the National Hydrological and Meteorological Services (NHMS) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) with financial support from the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR). The study investigated the capacity of the NHMS of five ASEAN Member States, namely Lao PDR, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Viet Nam - to respond to the increasing demands for improved meteorological and hydrological information by various socio-economic sectors. Taking a regional approach, it recommended investment plans to improve the NHMS with the ultimate goal for reducing losses due to natural hazard-induced disasters, sustainable economic growth and abilities of the countries to respond to climate change. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) supported the country assessment and coordinated the participation of various departments, including the National Irrigation Administration, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), the Department of Agriculture, the Forest and Environment Management Bureaus, the National Water Resources Board and private sector, among others. The Disaster Risk Reduction Division of the WMO provided technical inputs and facilitated peer review of the draft reports, which have resulted in significant quality improvements. A national consultation was organized by PAGASA to review the final draft report. The PAGASA, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provided comments for improving the report.
