Although Mawar, to be renamed Betty upon entering the Philippine area of responsibility, is not forecast to directly hit the Philippine landmass in the coming days, it is expected to strengthen the southwest monsoon, thereby triggering rains and thunderstorms.In flood-prone Marikina City, authorities have preemptively stationed rescue boats and equipment in strategic parts of the city, including Provident Village, Homeowners’ Drive in Barangay Sto. Niño, A.
“All government offices have their own roles as part of the City of Marikina’s system or protocols and are on standby, including those designated in the kitchen where food will be prepared for evacuees,” said the Marikina Public Information Office in a Facebook post.
