The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Friday scattered rain showers and thunderstorms caused by the shear line will prevail over Eastern Visayas, Aklan, Capiz, Albay, Masbate, Sorsogon, Catanduanes, Palawan, and Romblon. Rains due to the northeast monsoon will be experienced over Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera region, the rest of the Bicol Region, Aurora, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, and Marinduque. These areas may experience flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains, PAGASA said. The rest of Luzon will have light rains also due to the northeast monsoon, while isolated rain showers caused by localized thunderstorms will prevail over the rest of the archipelago. Luzon, the Visayas, and the northern and eastern sections of Mindanao will have moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough seas. The northern, eastern, western, and southern seaboards of Luzon, the seaboards of Southern Luzon, the western seaboards of the Visayas, and the eastern seaboards of Mindanao are forecast to have rough to very rough seas. PAGASA advised fishing boats and other small sea vessels not to venture into the sea, while larger sea vessels have been alerted against big waves.

In an interview on Tuesday, Gerard Buensalida, DAR-5 spokesperson, said the training is part of the government's active implementation of the agrarian reform program, enabling them to engage in the development interventions of the agrarian reform communities (ARCs). "Two training sessions will take place at the Patio de San Jose Resort and Convention Center in Malilipot, Albay. The first batch, consisting of 53 participants from Catanduanes, Masbate, Sorsogon, and Albay, is now ongoing that started Monday, and the second batch, with 56 participants from Camarines Sur I, Camarines Sur II, and Camarines Norte, will begin next week," Buensalida said. He added that they would be instructed in the formulation of effective development plans and innovative strategies for the growth of ARCs and farmer organizations. In a statement, DAR-5 Assistant Regional Director for Operations, engineer Romulo Britanico, said DAR considers the conduct of the E-ARCOD training as essential for the implementation of entrepreneurial activities in the ARCs. Britanico said the development facilitators are responsible for improving the quality of life of the agrarian reform beneficiaries so that they can become active participants in the government's development efforts.
