Science and Technology Secretary Mario Montejo appealed to the public on Tuesday, January 14, not to believe rumors of a supposedly strong typhoon coming to the Philippines, and to refrain from spreading the same rumors to others. He added that the public should remain sensitive to the plight of the survivors of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) who are still traumatized by the disaster. Montejo denied as false reports that another ‘strong typhoon’ will struck the country soon. He said the public should instead rely on official forecasts and data from the country’s official weather bureau, PAGASA. He added that the public should also keep alert for possible flash floods and landslides in Visayas and Mindanao, due to heavy rains caused by a Low Pressure Area (LPA) in the region.
