00:00 The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration says
00:07 northern Mindanao will likely start feeling the worst effects of the El Niño phenomenon
00:11 more than a month from now.
00:12 The Agriculture Department says at least 15,000 hectares in the region devoted to palay, corn
00:18 and vegetable productions are vulnerable to drought.
00:20 The onset of El Niño in the country was officially declared by PAGASA on July 4, 2023.
00:26 But as early as March last year, increasing sea surface temperatures at the central and
00:30 eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean were already observed.
00:33 PAGASA expects the worst conditions to be felt in northern Mindanao between March and
00:37 April, but says it cannot say exactly when dry spell and drought conditions would occur.
