MANILA, Philippines (Corrected 2:37 p.m.) — President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos has declared a state of calamity in four regions of the country where Severe Tropical Storm Paeng (international name: Nalgae) brought flashfloods, landslides and the loss of lives, property and livelihoods.

 

In a proclamation signed on Wednesday, Calabarzon, Bicol, Western Visayas and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao — where 1.4 million were "adversely affected" by the typhoon — will be in a state of calamity for six months.

 

A declaration of a state of calamity allows local governments to use calamity funds "for rescue, recovery, relief and rehabilitation and for the continuous provision of basic services to the affected populations."
