Typhoon Paeng
Severe Tropical Storm Paeng (Nalgae), the Philippines’ 16th tropical cyclone for 2022, unleashed torrential rain that triggered floods and landslides in parts of Mindanao, the Visayas, and Luzon. It struck just as the country was heading into a long weekend to mark All Saints’ Day and All Soul's Day.
Paeng’s five landfalls were all in Luzon, but initial reports show Mindanao suffered the most deaths, particularly the newly created province of Maguindanao del Norte.
Following the onslaught of Severe Tropical Storm Paeng, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. declared a state of calamity for six months in the Calabarzon region (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon), the Bicol region, the Western Visayas, and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
I've learned all about from this typhoon paeng is the importance of being ready. Many of our fellow citizens lost their lives due to the lack of preparation in the middle of the tragic situation.
To ensure that we are always prepared, it is essential to listen to weather updates and advisories. In addition, we should be aware of the emergency hotlines and stock up on food, rescue equipment, and clothing in case we need to evacuate.
As a student, child, or classmate, my priority is the safety of my families, relatives, or schoolmates, and I will remind you that it is always important to be prepared because we cannot predict when disasters will enter our community.

READING AND WRITING TASK
SORIA, MIKYLAFE A.
G11 - NARRA
A typhoon is a type of large storm system having a circular or spiral system of violent winds, typically hundreds of kilometers or miles in diameter. The Philippines is an area of intense seismic activity because it is located along the border of two tectonic plates on the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’, which means it is also prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
MANILA, 29 October 2022 – Tropical Storm Nalgae (local name Paeng) made landfall on Saturday, 29 October in Catanduanes with over 3 million people living in affected areas. Strong winds and heavy rains are causing flooding, landslides, and displacement in several regions in the Philippines, with 72 unconfirmed casualties. In the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) alone, over 78,000 households are reported to be affected by flooding and rain-induced landslides. Nalgae is the latest of over 20 storms that hit the Philippines during the 2022 Pacific Typhoon season.
“You cannot forever escape from the storm; you must learn to stand up to it!” Filipinos are known for being resilient in the face of a storm, literally and figuratively. When you live in a country where natural disasters happen quite frequently, you just have to be tough and remain faithful. We should build an emergency kit and make a family emergency plan and listen to the radio or TV for information.
Typhoons is like kryptonite to me. Students like me face high risks of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression disorder, and other health problems after typhoons .
There are three lesson I learned from typhoon Paeng. First, We must always be prepared because we don’t know what will happen. Find out where the evacuation area is, find out the emergency hotlines and prepare food, water, clothes, and emergency kits. Second, We must know what to do when there is a storm and flood so that we are not afraid and nervous. Lastly, Help the relatives clean up the mess caused by the typhoon Paeng and ask the relatives who were devastated by the typhoon Paeng are doing if they are fine.
"Awit Pag-asa" sung by: Alon Composed by : Renee Dela Rosa and Alvin De Vera
Filipinos are ready to help and unite in everything. We are not alone in the challenges of life because God and our fellow human beings are there. In everything we do, let's show love to our fellow human beings because we are the only ones who will help each other.

Social Justice and Legal Education
Constitution and legal system: The social justice and human rights values enshrined in the Philippine Constitution offer a legal framework for defending the rights of all citizens, especially the underprivileged groups in Mindanao. More justice and fairness can also be achieved by laws and policies that preserve indigenous rights, the environment, and land rights. The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, or BARMM, was established in 2019 with the intention of addressing historical injustices and giving Indigenous Muslims and other cultural communities the ability to choose their own development goals. Legal aid: For individuals who cannot afford private attorneys, free or inexpensive legal services from agencies such as the Public Attorney's Office, non-governmental groups, and law schools help guarantee access to justice. This is especially important for Mindanao's underprivileged populations that are threatened by human rights abuses, land grabs, or displacement. Pro bono initiatives: To support underprivileged people and communities, a large number of attorneys and other legal experts donate their time and knowledge, which helps to fund pro bono legal services in Mindanao. Community-based paralegals: Skilled individuals in the community can offer fundamental legal support and increase knowledge of rights and privileges, enabling the local populace to successfully traverse the legal system. Human rights organizations: Groups like the National Union of Peoples' Lawyers and the Mindanao Human Rights Center work to protect human rights, keep track of violations, and advance legislative and policy changes that assist Mindanao's underprivileged populations. Public interest litigation: Attorneys can utilize strategic litigation to oppose legislation that discriminate against their clients, hold government officials responsible for violating their human rights, and protect the rights of marginalized communities. Advocating for policies: Attorneys and other legal professionals can influence laws and policies that advance social justice and specifically address issues that the people of Mindanao experience by participating in the formulation and legislative processes. Notwithstanding these efforts, there remain obstacles and restrictions: Insufficient availability of legal services: A lot of Mindanao's communities, especially those in outlying areas, still do not have access to legal aid or competent legal counsel. Corruption and impunity: Weak legal systems and corruption can make it more difficult for the disadvantaged to access the court system. Complexities of the conflict: Mindanao's protracted conflict presents special difficulties that frequently call for comprehensive solutions that go beyond merely legal actions. All things considered, even though the legal system and the legal profession have their limitations, they nevertheless contribute significantly to the advancement of social justice and the general welfare of the people of Mindanao by offering structures for defending rights, guaranteeing access to the legal system, pushing for change, and confronting injustices. To guarantee that law and the legal profession successfully contribute to a more just and equitable society in Mindanao, ongoing efforts to fortify legal institutions, enhance access to legal services, and address the underlying causes of inequality are imperative.

ABS-CBN: DOH asks public to get vaccinated vs measles amid rise in cases
The Department of Health (DOH) is "concerned" and "on alert" as it sees a week-on-week upward trend of measles (tigdas) cases, recording 1,627 cases from January 1 to April 6--a number five times higher than the 308 cases in 2023.
An outbreak has already been declared in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), with 48% of the country's measles cases coming from the region, DOH spokesperson Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo said Thursday.
[DOH spokesperson Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo] assured enough supply of vaccines for nationwide routine childhood immunization in health centers and in public schools, and for the outbreak response in BARMM.
Domingo shared adults can still get vaccinated against measles, but children below 5 years old are more prone to the illness as they have weaker immune system compared to adults.
(There are many reasons people refuse to be vaccinated--the most common being that people think it is ok to get measles because it will eventually get well. But that's not measles, it's chickenpox. We have that misconception that they're the same and safe to get infected. No, it can be deadly.) [Domingo explained.]

Pangandaman Allocates P5 Billion for BARMM Rehabilitation Fund
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman has approved the Special Allotment Release Order (SARO) amounting to P5 billion for the Special Development Fund (SDF) of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). The release of the fund is in accordance with Section 2, Article XIV of Republic Act 11054, that the National Government shall provide the SDF with P5 billion annually, for a period of 10 years, to the BARMM Government “for the rebuilding, rehabilitation, and development of its conflict-affected communities.”
Pangandaman making a statement. Photo by DBM. "Tulad po ng ipinangako ko, at alinsunod po sa tagubilin ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, patuloy po ang DBM na aalalay sa BARMM sa abot ng aming makakaya. We will ensure that we will help in its smooth transition process and strengthening its communities." “Umaasa po kami na magagamit ng wasto ang pondong ito para matugunan ang pangangailangan ng mga komunidad sa BARMM. We hope that BARMM takes advantage of this funding by fully utilizing it to help those in need, and to improve areas that needs further development,” Pangandaman added. The most recent conflict to have erupted in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao was the five-month siege, from 23 May to 23 October 2017, of Marawi City — capital of Lanao del Sur, one of six provinces in the region. The clash resulted in P17 billion in property damage and lost opportunities, according to Task Force Bangon Marawi, the government inter-agency body in charge of rehabilitation efforts in the conflict zone. In 2018, Task Force Bangon Marawi said in an initial estimate that at least P49.8 billion is needed to restore affected parts of Marawi. The allocations shall be directly released by the Bureau of Treasury to the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Government through an authorized government servicing bank (AGSB), subject to cash programming by the National Government. The administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has allotted: - P64.76 billion for Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao’s Annual Block Grant; - P5.0 billion as Special Development Fund for the rebuilding, rehabilitation, and development of conflict-affected communities; - P4.59 billion for its share in taxes, fees, and charges collected in the region.
