MANILA, Philippines — San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora on Monday said that local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila are ready to brace for the impact of Typhoon Betty (international name: Mawar) as they monitor over 400 identified low-lying areas across the region. Zamora, who is also president of the Metro Manila Council, said the region is preparing for the typhoon's enhancement of southwest monsoon or 'habagat,' projected to bring 24-hour prolonged rain measured up to 50 millimeters in the next few days, even though Betty might not directly affect the region.
