THE Department of Transportation (DoTr) has rolled out a series of measures across all transport sectors to assist Filipinos affected by Super Typhoon Uwan (international name: Fung-wong), including free train rides, waived terminal fees, and free cargo transport for relief goods. The DOTr said that commuters can avail themselves of free rides on MRT-3, LRT-1, and LRT-2 from Nov. 10 to 11 to help those impacted by the typhoon and ease public transport and mobility. To facilitate faster delivery of aid, the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) has also waived roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) terminal fees for vehicles carrying relief goods, rescue equipment, and supplies bound for typhoon-hit areas. The fee exemption applies to both government and private vehicles transporting assistance in coordination with authorized agencies. In coordination with the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), the DOTr has requested local airlines to allocate free cargo space for the transport of relief goods to affected regions. In an advisory dated Nov. 9, CAB Executive Director Carmelo Arcilla said the measure supports ongoing relief operations and aims to accelerate the delivery of assistance. The directive took effect immediately and will remain valid for 30 days unless lifted or extended earlier, subject to airline safety and operational constraints. Cargo fees for local airlines carrying relief assistance have also been suspended, while the Toll Regulatory Board has been directed to lift toll fees for emergency and rescue vehicles responding to disaster operations on major expressways. “The entire DOTr force is focused on helping our fellow Filipinos affected by Super Typhoon Uwan. The President’s directive is clear — to do everything necessary to accelerate the delivery of relief and rescue operations. That’s why we mobilized all transport sectors early,” Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez said. Meanwhile, the DOTr said food and water are being distributed to stranded passengers at ports and bus terminals.

THE Philippines is hosting high-level Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) meetings on gender equality and women’s rights in Bohol from Nov. 10 to 15, the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) said Monday. The commission said the six-day event features back-to-back meetings of the Asean Committee on Women (ACW), Asean Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (ACWC), and the Asean Gender Mainstreaming Steering Committee (AGMSC), followed by the Asean Conference on Gender-Responsive Budgeting. The event with the theme “Shaping the Future of Asean: Women’s Leadership in Advancing People Empowerment, Regional Security, and Economic Prosperity” aims to strengthen regional cooperation on gender equality, women’s empowerment, and the protection of women and children across Asean member states. The Philippines currently serves as co-chair of both the ACW and ACWC. On the first day of the event, the country will assume the chairmanship of the ACW. Discussions will focus on advancing women’s economic empowerment, addressing gender-based violence, implementing the Asean Gender Mainstreaming Strategic Framework, and promoting gender-responsive governance. As Asean’s Vision Lead for Gender Mainstreaming, the PCW will also lead the Asean Conference on Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) from Nov. 14 to 15. The conference seeks to deepen understanding and strengthen the implementation of gender-responsive budgeting across Asean. Representatives from the ministries of women, finance and planning of the 11 Asean member states, as well as Asean partners and experts, are participating in the meetings. A Compendium of GRB Practices in Asean will be produced as a key output of the conference to guide member states in using public resources effectively to promote gender equality and inclusive development. The Asean Secretariat, led by Deputy Secretary-General San Lwin of the Asean Socio-Cultural Community, is also attending the meetings. The PCW said the week-long event reaffirms the Philippines’ leadership in promoting gender equality and its commitment to align Asean initiatives with the Asean Community Vision 2045 — toward a resilient, innovative, and people-centered Asean.
