• Amang is expected to move generally northwestward in the next 12 hours and is expected to pass through the eastern localities of Camarines Sur, Lamon Bay, and Quezon, with the possibility of passing near or over the Polillo Islands.
• Due to the continuous strong winds brought by Amang, tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 remains hoisted over Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Laguna, Aurora, Quezon including Polillo Islands, Rizal, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija.
• Amang may also bring rains to Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and the southern part of Aurora until Saturday, April 15.

Tropical depression Amang maintained its strength as it traverses the coast of Caramoan, Camarines Sur on Wednesday afternoon, April 12, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its latest bulletin.

PAGASA said Amang maintained its maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 55 kph as of 2 p.m., Wednesday.

It is moving north-northwest at a speed of 10 kph.

Amang is expected to move generally northwestward in the next 12 hours and is expected to pass through the eastern localities of Camarines Sur, Lamon Bay, and Quezon, with the possibility of passing near or over the Polillo Islands.

PAGASA said Amang will be over the coastal waters of Paracale, Camarines Norte in the next 12 hours; over the coast of Panukulan, Quezon in the next 24 hours; and in the vicinity Carranglan, Nueva Ecija in the next 36 hours.

This satellite image from PAGASA shows the location of tropical depression Amang as of 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 12, 2023.

Strong winds, heavy rains persist

Due to the continuous strong winds brought by Amang, tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 remains hoisted over Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Laguna, Aurora, Quezon including Polillo Islands, Rizal, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija.

“Areas under Wind Signal No. 1 may experience strong winds—strong breeze to near gale strength—associated with the tropical depression, which may cause minimal to minor impacts to life and property,” PAGASA warned.

Amang may also continue to bring heavy rains over Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and the southern part of Aurora until Saturday, April 15.

“Under these conditions, isolated flash floods and rain-induced landslides are possible, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards as identified in hazard maps and in localities that experienced considerable amounts of rainfall for the past several days,” PAGASA said.

The weather bureau is not ruling out a “considerable” change in the track forecast in its succeeding bulletins due to the weak and disorganized nature of the tropical depression.

It added that Amang may weaken into a low pressure area on Wednesday evening or Thursday, April 13, due to the “combined effects of land interaction, dry air intrusion, and increasing vertical wind shear.”

Miss Universe PH 2023 candidates during the press presentation in Taguig City last April 11.

Starstruck. That's how Miss Universe Philippines wants its audience to feel as it announced a celebrity-studded line-up for the Miss Universe Philippines (MUPH) 2023 Coronation Night at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City on May 13.

The list includes two of the hottest local movie stars as event hosts, a couple of international performers, with the special attendance of reigning Miss Universe R'Bonney Gabriel and the new Miss Universe Organization owner, Anne Jakrajutatip of Thailand.

Miss Universe Philippines director of communications Voltaire Tayag revealed during the Press Presentation of the pageant's official 38 candidates that Kapuso stars Alden Richards and Xian Lim will be this year's hosts. Reporting on the backstage happenings will be Tim Yap and  Miss Globe 2021 Maureen Montagne.

Earlier, it was reported that K-pop star Nam Woo-Hyun will be performing during the finals. Yesterday, April 11, Tayag bared the addition of American Idol 11th season runner-up. Jessica Sanchez is one of those who will render a song number.

MUPH national director Shamcey Supsup said that Miss Universe 2022 R'Bonney will fly into town on the first week of May. "She will have a lot of activities with us prior to the coronation and she will be here to attend the coronation with us."

"Apart from her, we are also inviting other Miss Universe winners. We will have a lot of other guests coming. We always want to top what we did last year," Shamcey added.

So far, the only previous queen who has been confirmed to arrive is Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa, but the MUPH executives hinted that there could be more who will attend.

For the first time, three women who are already mothers made it to the final cut after the pageant announced that it will accept applicants regardless of their marital status.

The three women are Miss Benguet Joemay-an Leo, Miss Quezon City Mary Eileen Gonzales, and Miss Paranaque, Clariele Dacanay. Meanwhile, one of the contestants, Claire Inso of Lapu-Lapu, said she joined even though she is only 5 feet 4 inches because MUPH also lowered the height requirement.

A few pageant veterans are also in this year's batch which includes last year's winners Michelle Dee ( Miss Universe Philippines Tourism 2022) and Pauline Amelinckx ( Miss Universe Philippines Charity 2022).

Shamcey said that they're not just looking for someone with a beautiful face and body. "We are looking for someone who is strong, independent, and knows that her work starts the moment she wins. Carrying the Philippines in the Miss Universe stage is such a big responsibility. It has to be someone who is already strong in mind, body, and spirit. She should have a purpose bigger than her ambition," stated the Miss Universe 2011 third runner-up.

Attention all passengers! No more paper-based departure cards starting May 1

The eTravel portal will soon be used for both departing and arriving passengers.

BY JOHANNES CHUA

“One less thing to worry (and carry) as you don’t need to bring a pen and fill up a paper departure card when you leave the country. Starting May 1, 2023, passengers will only need to answer an e-departure form via the online portal eTravel (https://etravel.gov.ph). 

According to a statement from the Bureau of Immigration (BI), the discontinuation of the use of paper-based departure cards is to “lessen the requirements of departing passengers.” 

“The eTravel platform will soon be used for both arriving and departing passengers,” said BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco. 

By answering online, you save a few precious minutes. However, you may only register within 72 hours (around three days) prior to your arrival or departure in the Philippines. An eTravel QR Code will be generated, which will be the one to be presented and scanned at the airport counters.

A project of different government agencies (such as the DICT, DOT, DOJ, DOH, etc.) working hand-in-hand to digitalize government processes and forms, the online portal has a “save” mechanism that allows you to retrieve your previous details. Therefore, there’s no need to fill up your birthdate, passport number, etc. again and again when you have another international trip.   

“This is a major step in streamlining documents presented by departing travelers, allowing for faster and more efficient immigration processing,” said Tansingco. The BI also reminds the public that accessing the eTravel website is absolutely free of charge. No bank details, credit card numbers, or online payment will be required from the website user. 

Landing page of the eTravel portal. Starting May 1, this will be used for both departing and arriving passengers in the Philippines.

The paperless transaction is absolutely good news from the BI. Aside from being a faster process, imagine the resources (and money) saved from tons of paper used to print these departure cards, which may or may not be useful at all. This is definitely a win for the environment! 

The digital details will also help the BI collect more accurate data, better screen passengers, and detect any anomalies or discrepancies faster. Digital tools will aid BI personnel as they implement their mandate and fulfill their role as they combat human trafficking, illegal recruitment, or unlawful border entries/ departures. 

This new development also puts our country “at par” with other countries that do not require passengers to answer in any form of paper. All transactions at the airport are done on digital platforms, using apps or websites that have tabs for easy inputting of responses. It is also safer this way, as close contact is prevented, one of the lessons we learned from the pandemic.
