The Provincial Government of Cavite has declared a state of calamity following the devastating impact of the southwest monsoon intensified by Severe Tropical Storm Crising.

The province is the latest in the number of cities and towns badly affected by heavy monsoon rains to declare a calamity state in Mega Manila.

The Municipality of Calumpit in Bulacan, the City of Manila, Quezon City, and Malabon City had earlier declared a state of calamity due to the devastation wrought by heavy rains.

Gov. Abeng Remulla said Resolution No. 3882-2025 will enable the provincial government to expedite relief efforts, mobilize resources, and access calamity funds to aid affected communities.

The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office said torrential rains caused knee to waist-deep floods in Cavite’s coastal and low-lying areas. Among the worst-hit areas were Bacoor City, Cavite City, Imus City, Kawit, Naic, Tanza, and Ternate.

A total of 1,345 affected families have been displaced and sought temporary shelter in evacuation areas as of 4:00 p.m. on July 22.

The Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, meanwhile, estimates over ₱5 million in damages and losses in agriculture and fisheries. The cost of damage for high-value crops was pegged at over ₱3 million.

Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso declared a state of calamity in Manila due to persistent flooding on Tuesday, July 22, caused by continuous southwest monsoon (habagat) rains.

The declaration is intended to hasten emergency response and provide immediate relief to affected residents across the city.

Barangay officials have been directed to evacuate residents in flood-prone areas, particularly those near rivers and other waterways.

As of 3 p.m. today, the city has already opened 22 evacuation sites and evacuated over 3,500 individuals.

Domagoso also announced that the city's 104 public schools under the Schools Division Office (SDO) can now be used as official evacuation centers to accommodate the growing number of displaced families.

For residents stranded by floods, SM San Lazaro and SM Manila have offered temporary assistance by opening their parking areas free of charge until 9 p.m.

Both malls are also extending support to evacuees by providing free WiFi access to help them stay connected and informed during the emergency.

Domagoso urged all barangay chairpersons to take immediate action for their constituents’ safety.

“Kung ang baranggay niyo ay baha na at kailangan niyo ilikas ang mga kabaranggay, maaari na po kayo magtungo sa malapit na paaralan sa ating mga baranggay (If your barangay is already flooded and you need to evacuate your constituents, you may proceed to the nearest school in your area)," he said.

The Manila City Government continues to closely monitor the situation and is encouraging the public to stay tuned to official announcements through Mayor Isko’s Facebook page and the city's social media platforms for the latest updates on flood levels, road conditions, evacuation sites, and other critical services.

The Quezon City government declared a state of calamity on Tuesday following continuous heavy rains and flooding brought on by the southwest monsoon (habagat).

The declaration was approved during a special session of the 23rd City Council, presided over by Vice Mayor Gian Sotto, to expedite the release of emergency funds and allow for faster and more coordinated disaster response across the city.

In anticipation of worsening conditions, the local government conducted preemptive evacuations on Monday, July 21, in low-lying and flood-prone areas.

As of 1:00 p.m. on July 22, a total of 10,334 families or 35,774 individuals have been evacuated and are currently staying in designated evacuation centers.

Families were relocated to designated evacuation centers, and rescue teams were deployed to assist in the operations.

The Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (QCDRRMO) remains on heightened alert, with emergency responders positioned throughout the city to assist affected communities and monitor high-risk areas.

The Malabon City government has declared a state of calamity following continuous heavy rains and severe flooding caused by the southwest monsoon (habagat), worsened by high tide and damage to the Malabon-Navotas River Navigational Gate.

Mayor Jeannie Sandoval made the declaration on Tuesday, July 22, through Sangguniang Panlungsod Resolution A17-2025, allowing the city to tap its Quick Response Fund (QRF).

“Itong hakbang na ito ay para masiguro na lahat ng kakailanganin ng ating mga kababayan sa panahon ng sakuna sa pamamagitan ng pag-activate ng ating Quick Response Fund na gagamitin sa ating mga disaster response operations (This step is to ensure that all the needs of our fellow citizens during times of calamity are addressed through the activation of our Quick Response Fund, which will be used for our disaster response operations),” Sandoval said.

“Kasabay nito, ang ating mga kagamitan, rescue boats, mobile service vehicles, pumping stations ay nakahanda rin para sa pagbibigay ng serbisyo ngayong masama ang panahon. Mag-iingat po tayong lahat (Alongside this, our equipment—rescue boats, mobile service vehicles, and pumping stations—are also ready to provide services during this period of bad weather. Let us all stay safe),” she added.

The declaration follows the guidelines of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) under Memorandum Order No. 60, Series of 2019, which outlines the process for declaring a state of calamity.

The QRF makes up 30 percent of the city’s Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund, which totals P44 million.

It will be used for emergency operations, relief distribution, and other disaster-related services.

Sandoval personally visited 24 evacuation centers where 897 families—around 3,336 individuals—are temporarily staying.

Mayor Lem Faustino on Tuesday declared a state of calamity in Calumpit, Bulacan, due to widespread flooding caused by days of continuous southwest monsoon rains, worsened by Typhoon Crising, dam water discharges, and high tide.

Faustino said the declaration was based on Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 85-2025, approved by the Sangguniang Bayan members led by Vice Mayor Doc Zar Candelaria.

This followed the recommendation of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC) after its meeting on Monday, July 21.

Based on data from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) and MDRRMO, around 40,501 families — or 131,832 individuals from 29 barangays — have been affected by the flooding. Of these, 317 families or 1,188 individuals are currently taking shelter in nine evacuation centers across the town.

The agricultural sector also sustained heavy losses, with an estimated 19 hectares of crops damaged and losses amounting to P3.8 million. Reports of damage to fisheries and aquaculture have also been recorded.

Faustino said the declaration would enable the local government to expedite the release of disaster funds for relief and rehabilitation efforts and provide urgent assistance to affected residents.
