AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoExtreme Heat Alert: Pagasa warns that on May 23, at least six areas in Calabarzon may hit “danger” heat index levels, with Sangley Point in Cavite City still projected up to 44°C (and Cavite City hitting 48°C on Thursday). Storm Setup: Two low-pressure areas are being monitored—one inside the PAR won’t likely become a cyclone, but its trough will keep bringing rains and thunderstorms across Mindanao and parts of the Visayas. Urban Nature vs. Concrete: In Manila, workers cleared stumps from more than 200 trees felled for the SALEx Southern Access Link Expressway, with DENR permits allowing removal of hundreds of trees—raising fresh concerns as heat worsens. Waste Disaster Watch: DENR is considering suspending Davao’s New Carmen sanitary landfill after a deadly trash slide, while EcoWaste Coalition urges “waste at source” policies instead of end-of-pipe disposal. Maritime Cooperation: A Dutch frigate, HNLMS De Ruyter, docked in Manila for Indo-Pacific security talks, marking 75 years of PH–Netherlands ties.
