Carina will cause storm surge along the coastlines between 1.25 to at least 4 meters in height. Residents living along the coasts are advised to leave their homes and seek for a safer area to dwell in order to prevent any harm brought about by the storm surge. Houses along the coastline should be immediately repaired to protect surging waters from the sea.<br />
<br />
Estimated rainfall is measured from at least moderate to heavy to areas located near or within the 400-kilometer diameter of the storm. All Fisherman are now alerted by the authorities against moderate or even rough seas over the Eastern and northern seaboards of Luzon and in the Visayas regions. The radius of the storm is expected to become larger as it gains strength over the warm waters of the Philippine Sea while approaching the main island of Luzon.<br />
<br />
Areas that are under Tropical Cyclone Signal number 1 and provinces nearby should expect a rough weather due to the extension of cloud clusters absorbed by the tropical storm. Residents are also alerted against moderate to heavy rains brought about by the tropical storm that can trigger dangerous flash floods in the area. Mountainous areas expect that heavy downpour could trigger landslides that are dangerous to the affected area.<br />
<br />

The agency is now coordinating with the Public and Risk Reduction and Management Council to prepare for mass evacuations, retrieval operations, clearing operations, and rescue missions for areas affected by the incoming storm.<br />
<br />
The Philippines is no stranger to Tropical Storms. Each year, the Philippines expects at least 22 tropical cyclones, the only country to be hit with the largest number of cyclones than any other country in the world.<br />
<br />
In 2013, the Philippines was brushed by a historic strong super typhoon that killed more than 13 thousand residents all over the area. Super typhoon Haiyan was the costliest super typhoon to hit the Philippines, with a worth of at least 7 billion US dollars.<br />

Her worth as a tourism secretary is now starting to materialize for having the president to approve the new Miss Universe beauty pageant to be held in the country.<br />
<br />
Teo's advocacy is to bring more tourists in the Philippines. By hosting the Miss Universe beauty pageants, she hopes that there will be more tourists arrivals that will bolster the tourism industry in the Philippines. This is the time for the Philippines to shine not only on political and economic issues but also for the tourism sector.<br />
<br />
Earlier, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach together with the Miss Universe Organization arrived in the Philippines to meet with President Rodrigo Duterte. This was to personally make a courtesy call to the president for the upcoming event that will be held in the Philippines next year. President Rodrigo Duterte never failed Pia and the Miss Universe Organization by granting their request to held Miss Universe in the country.<br />

While Piolo was lying in a supine position, which partially under Inigo's upper body part. both are lying in a mirrored room's corner that is placed with a thick matt with numerous large pillows surrounding them.<br />
<br />
Piolo Pascual indicated that he and his son haven't seen each other for two months. This was due to hectic schedules at work such as tapings, special events preparations, commercial tapings, and other showbusiness affairs. Both are very busy with their schedule that always consumes their time to rest and especially to have a supposed time to bond with each other as father and son. The two seldom meet each other, since that Inigo is a rising teenage local actor. Inigo is now being considered by several brands and entertainment events due to his popularity that can freshly carry their brand to the public.<br />
<br />
Both Piolo Pascual and Inigo are dismayed by the reactions of netizens due to various imaginations that have been commented beyond their behalf.

<br />
Inigo Pascual can be locally watched in various telenovelas in the Philippines, which are sometimes aired in other countries around the world under the license of the releasing entertainment network operating in the country.<br />
<br />
As an ordinary person in a celebrity status, Piolo indicated it is better to shrug off unnecessary issues because there are better things to concentrate in life than to give way for your bashers to get into your life.<br />
<br />
This can be done by just focusing on your career as a celebrity because for as long as you entertain the public, you will always be rewarded with blessings that continue to change or transform your life.<br />
<br />
As a father, he is very thankful that his son gives his time to bond with him, which is one of the most wonderful things that your child can offer for their parents.

<br />
The official State of the Nation Address was held on the 25th of July in 2016 at the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Pasig City, Philippines. While addressing his annual presidential speech, he was surrounded by the remaining high-ranking officials of the Republic of the Philippines, running from the vice-president, down to the congress, governors, mayors, and council members of each town and cities.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">His excellency President Rodrigo Duterte</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
President Duterte's State of the Nation Address is a historic event for the Philippines because there were many past leaders who attended his event than any other presidents in the country. This was because former Presidents Fidel V. Ramos, Joseph Estrada, and Gloria Arroyo were present during the speech event of the president.<br />
<br />
Another issue that was observed during the State of the Nation Address was the change in the dress code of all attendees of the event. President Rodrigo Duterte wants to ensure that the guests should wear clean and a non-extravagant clothing, which indicates their lavish lifestyle that can be a questionable issue under the eyes of graft and corruption watch-list. Participants are required to wear a simple and neat dress, symbolizing cleanliness and purity that can reflect their personality to be a true and trustable person and groups of interest.<br />
<br />
During his speech, President Rodrigo Duterte seems to add more discussions that were not included from his speech that was obviously observed from his first State of the Nation Address. His excellency wants to discuss more important points related to the implementation of his country. However, time is limited for him to discuss it, due to the constraints allocated by the time frame that is only for his State of the Nation Address.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Here are some important pointers that were discussed during his State of the Nation Address</u></b></div>
<br />
<b>1. Moving on with the future</b><br />
<br />
From his speech, he started his State of the Nation Address by telling the public that the past should not be blamed for the shortcomings of the future. We should not blame from the past mistakes that the previous government has had already experienced from the past. We should always move forward in order to have a new beginning that enable improvements and prosperity to continue with every community around the Philippines.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Separation of the Church and the State</b><br />
<br />
The president also addressed the issues regarding the religious issues wherein he assures that the state and God should work together in harmony. Religious separation is indeed indicated by the constitution that is understandable to have their own interests with their advocacies and interests. This is to promote trust and unity with all entities across the society. This means that religious agencies enable all out support by means of guiding all entities between the private and public institutions. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3. Anti-illegal substance campaign</b><br />
<br />
President Duterte's campaign to anti-drug campaign is highlighted in his speech wherein he gave a stern warning to the public not to be involved in all illegal activities such as using and pushing the use of prohibited substances. Duterte promised to hunt down even the last remaining illegal substance lords responsible for starting criminal activities across the society. Users of prohibited substances will surely face apprehension to the greatest extent in order to feel the consequences of the law.<br />
<br />
<b>4.Human rights issues</b><br />
<br />
Human Rights is also addressed by the president, which is an important consideration that a person should avail to protect their dignity and integrity. Despite from the controversial issues with respect to the involvement to illegal substance related apprehensions, all citizens should still have their right respected by any individual, group, or organization.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Intensifying graft and corruption</b><br />
<br />
He established a hotline for people to render their complaints against any government services that are causing a problem related to any public service. By calling the 888 hotline, the public can extend their grievances with the concerned operators in order to call for an immediate action for any public service issues that were poorly served to concerned individuals. If the grievance is accepted, involved authorities will be assigned to address the concern and apprehend the person involved with the problem.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Eliminating environmental related violations</b><br />
<br />
Natural Resources provides a vital source of food supply to our society. Mining is a problem when they do not comply with the environmental standards provided by the government. Foreclosure is the best solution for any mining companies who were found to be violating all provisions provided by the local and international mining laws. This is to protect the country from environmental consequences such as deteriorating food supply and hazardous environment for the people to live.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Improving transportation systems</b><br />
<br />
Manila is the only city that is saturated with transportation. To ease traffic congestion, installing more railways, roads, bridges, and flyovers can ease traffic congestion. This is applied not only in Metro Manila but also to other metropolitan areas in the Philippines. This is the best way to improve transportation system that will prevent economic damage to the country.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. Enhancing Peace and prosperity</b><br />
<br />
President Rodrigo Duterte believes that rebel groups are victims of historical inequalities and injustices. He accepted the fact that there was no proper due process served to fix problems relating to insurgencies. As the president that hails from the land where rebel roams the outskirts of his metropolis, mediation through the table is one of the best issues to end rebellion and insurgencies across the country.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>9. Easing public service and Federalism</b><br />
<br />
Passports will now be extended from five years to ten years to allow any overseas Filipino workers to save more money. There will be a free WiFi access served in public areas such as transportation terminals, parks, public offices, and schools. Lowering personal and business tax shall be implemented and amended in the future to prevent the burden for every Filipinos to live a better life. His economic team ensures that macroeconomic policies from the past administrations will still be adopted to ensure that the socio-economic lifestyle and business environment of the Philippines is still competitive.<br />
<br />
Federalism is the answer to improve the country's public service. With the use of Federalism, graft and corruption will ease, allowing distribution of wealth all over the country to be equal. Power among leaders will be equally distributed as Federalism will bolster equal power and authority to distribute all public service and wealth to the people.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Safety and security</b><br />
<br />
Rehabilitation programs are applied for surrendered criminal offenders will be served under the jurisdiction of the military. Clearing operations along the roads by means of removing all illegally installed booths will be intensified, which is believed to be the breeding grounds for creating negative elements of the law. A safe environment attracts businesses and investors to engage in numerous business opportunities that generate jobs.<br />
<br />

A tornado visibly touched down in Legazpi City in the Philippines after a thunderstorm

<br />
In a tropical country such as the Philippines, numerous natural phenomenon that is not usually being reported by the media due to its geographically challenged islands. On July 24, 2016, a tornado touched down in Embarcaderro-Puro Boulevard in Legazpi City, Albay Province, Philippines. The natural phenomenon attracted an attention to the residents, motorists, and tourists in the area as they were shocked to see a rare sight in that particular place.<br />
<br />
The photo was taken at approximately between 4 to 5 pm in the afternoon when it appeared near a highway. The tornado was seen clearly as it passed by in an uninhabited area. The photo was taken and uploaded by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jose.salceda.92/posts/10154610784896756" target="_blank">Joey Sarte Salceda </a>on his Facebook account. Joey Salceda is the incumbent governor of the Province of Albay. His set of photos is now circulating on Facebook, which shows the magnificent beauty of a natural phenomenon that displays its beauty to the scene, but deadly when you are going near with it.<br />

As based on the photo, the tornado's funnel cloud is very visible on the horizon, being attached to the ground while rolling like a strand of rope. The natural phenomenon made a magnificent view on the background of the photo, blending with the natural landscape between the thick coconut tree forest and the mountains. The view made a spectacular scene in the province, displaying a rare sight brought about by Mother Nature's true beauty.<br />
<br />
As the tornado provided a rare glimpse on how Mother Nature resent its true beauty to the environment, it is now causing a safety threat to the motorists who were currently passing by to the highway. Motorists in the area have to wait for the tornado to pass through by crossing the highway before resuming to pass through the road to prevent any safety risks that might be affected by the Mother Nature's fury.<br />
<br />
It is a good thing that no fatalities or injuries were reported from the scene of the incident. However, the estimated value of any properties and other infrastructures in the area have yet to be determined by the authorities and affected residents in the area. Tornadoes are known to cause a significant hazard to any affected area due to strong swirling winds that can reach up to at least 300 kilometers per hour. The incident visibly indicates that it is too dangerous to get near the tornado to prevent being swept by its damaging winds. Debris carried by the tornados also poses a significant threat to safety as well as injuries to anyone near its path.<br />
<br />
A tornado forms when the cool air from the ground rises up suddenly, interacting with the cooler air from above the atmosphere. The warm air will then push the swirling jet stream at the atmosphere, creating a swirling wind on the ground.<br />
<br />
The Philippines is a tropical country that regularly experiences thunderstorms that are sometimes accompanied by tornadoes or waterspouts like the set of photos being displayed above.<br />
<br />
The tornado is believed to be an F1 tornado, with a packing winds between 60 to 100 kilometers per hour. This strength is already capable of carrying a car, destroying homes, and can tear up anything in its path.<br />
<br />
When this natural phenomenon strikes a populated area, a significant damage can cost hundreds of thousands worth of damage, due to its destructive force.<br />
<br />
When a tornado strikes in your area, it is always important to seek for shelter to prevent any threat of flying debris that can act like a flying missile.<br />
<br />
The Philippine archipelago is no stranger to tornado because every week, there are multiple reported tornadoes or waterspouts across the archipelago as reported by the residents and authorities. Due to the country's geographical location, the islands often experiences regular isolated thunderstorms, hailstorms, waterspouts and tornadoes.<br />
<br />
Residents or any person near the area advised to immediately vacate the path of the tornado to prevent any hazards or risks to safety that can be brought about by the storm.<br />
