BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

As further rain was predicted in some of the hardest-hit areas, disaster officials said Thursday that the death toll from a severe storm that caused flooding and landslides across the Philippines had reached 150.

Severe Tropical Storm Nalgae battered large portions of the archipelago nation late last week and over the weekend, displacing more than 355,400 people from their homes.
 
On the southern island of Mindanao, in the Bangsamoro area, where communities were devastated by flash floods and landslides, 63 of the 150 casualties reported by the national disaster agency occurred.

According to the government, 36 individuals are still missing nationwide and at least 128 people were injured. There is no chance of discovering further survivors, according to the authorities.

Bangsamoro disaster services were ready for the prospect of more catastrophe in the underdeveloped and hilly province with more rain predicted for Thursday.
 
Naguib Sinarimbo, the regional civil defense chief said "The soil is still wet in areas where flash floods and landslides occurred so further erosion could be instantly triggered," adding that "waterways and rivers that were in the path of the flash floods are blocked by debris and boulders so they could easily overflow."  
 
The deadly landslides in Bangsamoro have been attributed to deforestation and climate change according President Ferdinand Marcos.

He has pleaded with the local government to grow trees on barren slopes.
 
"That's one thing that we need to do," Marcos told a briefing this week "We have been hearing this over and over again, but we still continue cutting trees. That's what happens, landslides like that happen."
