AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Flood Crisis in Central Luzon: The Pampanga River overflowed again, pushing flooded villages to 276 and affecting 307,879 families (982,100 people) across 19 towns, with some areas seeing up to 6 feet and even 20 feet of water. Flood-Planning Push: Parañaque Rep. Brian Raymund Yamsuan urged Congress to pass a National Land Use Act, saying flooding needs a unified, science-based framework—not just local drainage fixes. Weather Watch: Pagasa is monitoring Severe Tropical Storm Saudel, which may enter the Philippine area of responsibility by Monday and could boost habagat rains over parts of Luzon and Western Visayas. School Safety & Gun Rules: PNP confirmed a firearm found in a Grade 9 student’s bag in Cebu, and said it will tighten firearm safekeeping rules after the Ateneo de Zamboanga shooting. Health Alert: Quezon City reported a sharp rise in leptospirosis cases after habagat flooding, with 62 cases and five deaths recorded from Aug. 5 to Aug. 18. Crime & Justice: PNP also said it is ramping up cases vs electricity theft and pilferage, aiming for stronger conviction rates through coordination with prosecutors. Economy Snapshot: PSA reported poverty incidence fell to a record low 9.7% in 2025, lifting 6.5 million Filipinos out of poverty.
