PAMPANGA BRACES FOR IMPACT OF TROPICAL STORM UWAN

SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — As Tropical Storm Uwan approaches Central Luzon, provincial officials in Pampanga are taking proactive measures to safeguard residents and critical infrastructure.

On Saturday morning, Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda personally inspected disaster response vehicles and equipment at the Provincial Engineering Office compound in San Fernando. The inspection covered fire trucks, dump trucks, heavy equipment, rescue boats, and other emergency apparatus to ensure readiness in the event of flooding or storm-related incidents. Pineda also reminded rescue personnel to strictly follow safety protocols during operations.

Following the inspection, Pineda visited the Command and Control Center to monitor real-time tracking of the storm and assess conditions in coastal barangays via the provincial CCTV system.

In Barangay San Juan Baño, at the foot of Mount Arayat, local officials conducted a virtual test of early warning devices, including sirens, while also monitoring landslide sensors on the mountain to mitigate risks from potential soil erosion.

Provincial staff are preparing sandbags and have prepositioned 36,287 relief packs and 60,760 canned goods for distribution if needed. Evacuation centers across the province are ready, equipped with food, mats, blankets, and medical teams to assist residents from high-risk coastal and upland areas, particularly those near Mount Arayat.

Vice Governor Pineda urged all Kapampangans to remain vigilant and follow official advisories as the storm is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rainfall beginning Sunday evening. IORBITNEWS TEAM

CAPAS LGU SHUTS DOWN THREE PIGGERY, POULTRY FARMS

CAPAS, Tarlac – The local government of Capas, led by Mayor Roseller “Boots” Rodriguez, recently ordered the closure of three piggery and poultry farms in Barangays Lawy and Manga following complaints from residents about foul odor, proliferation of flies, and contaminated water flowing into nearby streams.

The affected establishments include Tarlac Golden Dragon Piggery, Zhang Shi Piggery Farm, and Tarlac Huat Lai Piggery/Poultry Farm. The closures were carried out under Joint Cease and Desist Order and Show Cause Order No. 01-2025 issued by the Capas LGU.

Prior to the enforcement, the Sangguniang Bayan, led by Vice Mayor Alex Espinosa, passed Municipal Resolution No. 148-2025, recommending the temporary suspension of operations due to potential risks to public health and the environment.

Mayor Rodriguez deployed a composite team from MENRO, POSMO, BPLO, MEO, MHO, Assessor’s Office, Legal Office, BFP, Capas MPS, and the Office of the Mayor to serve and post the cease-and-desist orders at the affected establishments, emphasizing that the law applies equally to all businesses, regardless of size.

During the ongoing investigation, farms are only allowed to provide food and water for existing livestock. Bringing in new stock or resuming operations is strictly prohibited. Personnel from POSMO and Capas MPS have been stationed to ensure continuous compliance.

> “We are not against business. But business must operate with conscience, respecting the law and the rights of citizens to clean air and safe water,” Mayor Rodriguez said.

“This order protects families who daily endure the stench, flies, and polluted water. In a government committed to integrity, violations must be addressed,” he added.

🙏 Prayer for Protection from Super Typhoon Uwan 🙏

Almighty and Merciful God,
We humbly come before You as Typhoon Uwan approaches our land.
We seek Your divine protection and mercy upon our families, our communities, and our nation.

Lord, calm the raging winds and heavy rains.
Shield the vulnerable—the poor, the sick, the elderly, and those without shelter.
Strengthen the hands of our rescuers, leaders, and volunteers who serve selflessly in this time of danger.

Grant us courage, faith, and unity to face this storm together.
May Your light guide us through the darkness,
and may peace return swiftly after the tempest has passed.

We entrust our lives and our country to Your loving care.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

🕊️ “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

GOVERNMENT FORCES CLASH WITH ARMED GROUP IN NORZAGARAY, BULACAN

NORZAGARAY, Bulacan — Government troops under the Joint Task Group (JTG) 7-2 clashed with an undetermined number of armed individuals during a combat clearing operation in Sitio Inuman, Norzagaray, Bulacan, at around 9:25 a.m. on Friday, November 7, 2025.

According to initial reports, a brief firefight ensued between the military forces and the armed group, forcing the latter to withdraw westward. The troops later conducted clearing operations at the encounter site, where they discovered bloodstains believed to indicate enemy casualties. They also recovered one (1) backpack containing personal belongings left behind by the fleeing suspects.

Authorities said the operation was part of ongoing efforts to maintain peace and security in the province and to deny lawless elements freedom of movement within local communities.

In a statement, Brigadier General Eugenio Julio C. Osias IV, Commander of Joint Task Group 7-2 and the 703rd Infantry (Agila) Brigade, praised the soldiers for their alertness and professionalism during the encounter.

“I commend our troops for their bravery and swift action that prevented potential threats to the safety of our people. This incident reflects our soldiers’ unwavering commitment to protect our communities and uphold peace and stability in the region,” said Brig. Gen. Osias IV.

He further assured the public that pursuit operations are ongoing to track down the fleeing armed elements. The Philippine Army, he emphasized, remains steadfast in fulfilling its mandate to protect the Filipino people and secure the state.

Security forces continue to coordinate with local government units and law enforcement agencies to prevent further incidents and ensure the safety of residents in Norzagaray and nearby areas.

As of this writing, authorities are verifying the identity and affiliation of the armed individuals involved in the encounter. (Jason de Asis)

NETIZENS BAT FOR EXPANSION OF JBL HOSPITAL

SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – Netizens are calling on the Department of Health (DOH) to expand the Jose B. Lingad Memorial General Hospital (JBLMGH) in Pampanga, citing the urgent need to increase its bed capacity, medical personnel, and equipment to address overcrowding and improve healthcare services in Central Luzon.

“Kung wala nang room for expansion sa San Fernando, puwede naman sa ibang lugar para ma-decongest ang JBL,” said Myrna Santos, a concerned resident.

Others echoed similar sentiments, urging the DOH to build additional regional hospitals instead of funding less urgent projects. “Kesa ninakaw lang pera ng bayan sa mga walang silbi flood control projects, mas mainam na magtayo na lang sila ng mga DOH regional hospitals sa bawat probinsiya,” said Ricardo Sanguyu from Nueva Ecija.

The calls come after several reports of patients being treated in hallways or waiting long hours for admission at JBLMGH — the primary DOH hospital serving Region 3. DENG PANGILINAN
