President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. visited Tanza National High School on Saturday morning, where evacuees from Navotas are temporarily sheltered, following his inspection of the Tangos-Tanza Navigational Gate. Due to inclement weather, his planned visit to Bacolor, Pampanga was canceled. In Tanza, residents and children greeted the President warmly, with some embracing him during their brief exchanges. Meanwhile, his administration faces mounting criticism over the transparency and effectiveness of ongoing flood control efforts. As typhoons remain a persistent threat, all eyes are on how his administration will address disaster preparedness and implement long-delayed infrastructure reforms in the remaining years of his term.

During a press briefing in Malacanang, Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs (SAPIEA) Frederick Go clarified that it is not the Philippines who will bear the cost of the tariffs imposed by the United States, but the American consumers. He explained that when tariffs are applied, the additional cost is usually passed on to the buyers. In this case, it will be the consumers in the U.S. who will pay more, not Filipino exporters. He also emphasized that the reduction of tariffs to 19% is a significant development for the Philippines. This rate is now the second lowest in Southeast Asia. According to Go, this makes the country more attractive to foreign investors. It could encourage them to set up operations here and export their products globally.

Go: U.S. consumers, not Filipinos, to bear tariff costs

Nearly 989 families, or about 3,732 individuals, are currently sheltering at Diosdado Macapagal Elementary School in Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City, as Typhoon Crising continues to batter Metro Manila with heavy rains and gusty winds. The intensified southwest monsoon has triggered widespread flooding, leading to the declaration of a state of calamity in the city. Evacuees face cramped, damp conditions and health concerns, while local government units rush to deliver food, water, and hygiene kits. PAGASA has warned of ongoing rain, thunderstorms, flash floods, and landslides as Crising slowly moves across Northern Luzon.
