Five rescuers died while conducting a rescue operation in San Miguel, Bulacan amid Super Typhoon Karding’s onslaught on Sunday, according to Governor Daniel Fernando on Monday.

“Actually, lima ‘yan. Apat na ngayon ang confirmed dead. Mga team natin sa PDRRMO. Mga empleyado po natin ‘yun (there were five. Four have been confirmed dead. They are from our PDRRMO team. They were our employees),” stated by Gov. Fernando.

PDRRMO officials claimed to have discovered the fifth rescuer’s body. 

Meanwhile, the bodies of the five were moved to funeral homes.

According to Fernando, when the truck they were using for their mission broke down, the rescuer used a boat. 

The men however were injured by a wall that fell and a flash flood that occurred.

Moreover, Fernando assured that the provincial government would help the bereaved family.

2,000 people are being sheltered in evacuation shelters because several parts of the province are still underwater, according to the governor.

According to the report of  Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos Jr., secretary of the interior and local government to Pres. Marcos, 19,368 families, or 74,542 people, were evacuated in eight regions (CAR, Regions 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, NCR and Region 5).

Whereas Metro Manila had the greatest number of evacuees—33,043 people. Central Luzon (Region 3) followed with 25,358 and  Calabarzon had 13,892 people to be evacuated (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon).

MANILA — Inihayag ni Atty. Si Vic Rodriguez, isang dating executive secretary na siya ay ganap na umalis sa administrasyong Marcos dahil gusto aniyang gumugol ng mas maraming oras sa kanyang pamilya.

Sinabi ni Rodriguez na tinalakay niya ang kanyang desisyon kay Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

“I confirm that I have completely exited the administration of President Bongbong Marcos, after having spoken to him at length about my wish to spend most of my time with my family…a very personal decision that was happily made,” saad ni Rodriguez sa kanyang Facebook post.

Dagdag pa ni Rodriguez na ang kanyang pananahimik hinggil sa kanyang pagbibitiw ay aniya isang “absolutely privileged” na interaksyon sa Pangulo.

“I have been ridiculed, maligned, and subjected to baseless and unfair commentaries on all conceivable platforms, but I take solace in the legal aphorism, ‘Men in public life may suffer under a hostile or unjust accusation; the wound can be assuaged with the balm of a clear conscience,” aniya.

Sinabi din ni Rodriguez na isang pribilehiyo ang maglingkod sa bansa at itutuloy niya aniya ito sa kanyang personal na kapasidad.

“It has been an honor to have served the country. Ako po ay magpapatuloy maglingkod bilang pribadong mamamayan sa abot ng aking munting kakayanan. Atin pong suportahan si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos at ang ating bansang Pilipinas,” ani Rodriguez.

MANILA – Nagsumite ng resolusyon nitong Martes si House Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan, na humihiling sa House Committee on Games and Amusements na maglunsad ng imbestigasyon ukol sa kontrobersyal na grand lottery draw na nakakita ng isang napakabihirang resulta kung saan mahigit 400 bettors ang naghati-hati sa PHP236 milyon jackpot prize.

“There is a need for Congress to protect and ensure the integrity of the lotto draws that contribute in a big way to government coffers and help finance public health programs, as well as medical assistance and services to indigents, among other charities,” saad ng 4Ps Partylist Representative sa paghahain ng House Resolution No. 463.

Itinampok ng HR No. 463 ang pangangailangang protektahan ang publiko sa pagtaya gayundin ang integridad ng mga operasyon ng lotto. Mula Enero hanggang Hunyo ng taong ito, ang mga sales ng lottery ticket ay PHP25.92 bilyon, tumaas ng 32.15 porsiyento kumpara sa mga sales sa parehong anim na buwang panahon noong 2021.

Ang winning numbers sa 6/55 draw noong Sabado ay 09-45-36-27-18-54 at nagkaroon ng kabuuang 433 katao ang tumaya sa kumbinasyong ito.

Ang bawat isa ay nakatanggap ng humigit-kumulang PHP545,000 bilang kanilang bahagi sa jackpot reward. 

Nauna nang binigyan ng katiyakan ng PCSO ang pangkalahatang publiko na ang mga lotto draws ay isinasagawa alinsunod sa pinakamataas na pamantayan ng pagiging transparent, matapat, at makatarungan.
