Diesel's national average eased slightly to ₱102.78/liter by Sept 23 after Monday's third major September fuel hike. NDRRMC's storm-sequence toll remains unchanged at 44 dead, 18 injured and 5 missing (last updated Sept 10). Separately, a tropical depression roughly 1,810km east of southeastern Luzon is forecast to enter the PAR Sept 24 as tropical storm 'Queenie' — the 17th cyclone of 2026 — with its trough already soaking Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao Oriental, Misamis Oriental and Camiguin, and the GMA Kapuso Foundation delivered relief goods to over 9,000 earthquake and flood survivors across Sarangani.Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-09-21/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-09-21/NDRRMC's habagat/cyclone-sequence toll remains at 44 dead, 18 injured and 5 missing (unchanged since Sept 10), and DSWD's evacuation-center count still stands at 46,424 people in 570 centers as of Sept 13 — no updated national sitreps were found this cycle. The Visayas grid, which returned to normal operation Sept 19 for the first time in nearly a month, relapsed to a yellow alert (4-8pm) on Sept 21 after Therma Visayas Unit 1 and Panay Energy Development Corp's Unit 3 again went unavailable and PEDC Unit 2 tripped, with NGCP still counting 859.8MW unavailable nationwide. Separately, oil firms confirmed a third major September fuel-price hike effective Sept 22 (diesel +₱8.82/L, gasoline +₱4.88/L, kerosene +₱6.47/L), pushing the national diesel average above ₱100/liter for the first time this crisis, driven by drone-attack damage to Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline amid the wider Middle East conflict.Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-09-13/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-09-13/NDRRMC's toll from the habagat/cyclone sequence held at 44 dead, 18 injured and 5 missing (last updated Sept 10) as DSWD's Sept 13 morning report showed evacuation-center populations easing to 46,424 people (13,166 families) in 570 centers, down from 60,900 on Sept 10, even as total affected population edged up to 10,442,307 across 6,923 barangays with ₱2.54 billion in aid disbursed. Separately, the Visayas grid was placed under a 4-hour red alert on Sept 13 (5-9pm) after Therma Visayas Units 1 and 2 and Panay Energy Development Corp's Unit 3 went offline, with the grid unable to import from Mindanao's own tight supply; Mindanao logged yellow alerts on both Sept 12 and 13 as GNPower Kauswagan units stayed down. Fuel prices eased slightly to a national average of ₱92.06/liter diesel as of Sept 13, still well above pre-hike levels.Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-09-07/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-09-07/NDRRMC/OCD's Sept 6-7 bulletins hold the combined habagat/cyclone-sequence toll steady at 43 dead, 20 injured and 5 missing, even as calamity-declared localities climbed to 188 (from 180) and 385 areas across Luzon remained flooded; evacuation numbers eased slightly to 58,400 people in 753 centers, and combined infrastructure-and-agricultural damage reached roughly ₱12.06 billion. Separately, NGCP put the Visayas grid back on red alert Sept 5 (177MW deficit) and again Sept 7, with Mindanao on yellow alert Sept 5, as nearly 820MW of power-plant capacity stayed unavailable nationwide; DOE Secretary Sharon Garin now targets a stabilized Visayas grid by October via two Luzon power barges (Cebu, Panay) and roughly 170MW of new battery storage across Cebu, Negros and Panay.Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-31/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-31/NDRRMC's August 31 report put the combined storm-and-habagat death toll at 33, up from 32, as the affected population grew to 8.8 million (2.5 million families) and evacuation-center numbers jumped to 164,500 people. Tarlac City's Ninoy Aquino Bridge partially collapsed Aug 28 and again Aug 30, and the nearby Agana Bridge — pressed into service as the detour — itself collapsed Aug 29, sweeping an SUV into the Tarlac River and leaving 4 of 5 occupants missing; Tarlac province declared a state of calamity Aug 30 over the twin bridge failures. Pangasinan followed suit province-wide on Aug 31 (Resolution No. 985-2026) after eight of its own municipalities had already declared locally. Newly formed Tropical Depression Pilandok, the Philippines' 16th cyclone of 2026, is unlikely to make landfall but continues enhancing the habagat monsoon. Separately, NGCP placed the Visayas grid on red alert and Mindanao on yellow alert Aug 31 amid ongoing forced plant outages, while oil firms confirmed a fuel price rollback effective September 1, reversing the prior two-week climb.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-29/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-29/OCD's August 29 report put the combined death toll from the habagat and cyclone sequence at 32, up from 31, with 19 injured and 3 missing plus 1 death pending confirmation; localities under a state of calamity grew to 117 (from 104) as 297 areas remained flooded, 281 of them in Central Luzon. In Lubao, Pampanga, an overflowing Sta. Rita Dam swept away a two-storey house on Aug 28, though residents evacuated safely. Combined infrastructure and agricultural damage reached ₱8.43 billion (₱6.11B + ₱2.32B), with ₱1.65 billion in government assistance disbursed so far, and the affected population rose to 8 million across 10 regions. Separately, the Visayas grid hit its 22nd red alert of 2026 on Aug 26 amid 32 forced power-plant outages, prompting the DOE to mandate NGCP install roughly 250MW of battery storage, while oil companies signaled a fuel price rollback (diesel -₱3.50 to -₱4/liter, gasoline -₱0.25 to -₱0.75/liter) for the week of Sept 1-2, reversing the prior two-week climb.Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-28/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-28/NDRRMC's August 27 report put the combined death toll from the habagat and cyclone sequence at 31, up from 29, with Benguet (15), CALABARZON (8) and Metro Manila (3) hardest hit; 19 remained injured and 3 missing. The number of localities under a state of calamity grew to 104, infrastructure damage reached ₱5.95 billion, agricultural losses hit ₱1.91 billion, and the affected population rose to 7.7 million people across 10 regions, even as evacuation-center numbers eased to roughly 28,000 as floodwaters receded in some areas. Fresh orange rainfall warnings hit Zambales and Bataan on Aug 27 evening as the southwest monsoon persisted. Separately, diesel and gasoline prices resumed climbing for a second straight week (diesel +₱2.31/liter, gasoline +₱1.08/liter effective Aug 25-31), reversing the prior retreat from March's crisis peak amid continued Strait of Hormuz-linked refinery disruption.Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-25/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-25/The number of local governments under a state of calamity from the habagat and cyclone sequence grew to 102 across 12 provinces and cities as of Aug 24, with Benguet becoming the latest to declare a province-wide calamity after cumulative landslide and flood damage topped ₱1.068 billion. The death toll held steady at 29 (19 injured, 3 missing) even as the affected population climbed to roughly 7.5 million people (2.2 million families) and infrastructure losses reached ₱5.1 billion. Typhoon Obet (international name Saudel), the season's 15th cyclone, briefly transited the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Aug 24 without making landfall before continuing toward Japan and China, but its track further enhanced the southwest monsoon, bringing renewed rain to Luzon into Aug 25. Separately, Philippine diesel and gasoline prices have retreated well below their March energy-crisis peak, though both ticked up slightly this week.Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTdailyhttps://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-21/https://watchboard.dev/philippines-disasters-2026/#digest-2026-08-21/The habagat/typhoon death toll climbed to 29 (19 injured, 3 missing) as a newly formed Tropical Depression Neneng — the Philippines' 14th cyclone of 2026 — enhanced the southwest monsoon without making landfall.
