A LOW-pressure area in Mindanao will bring rains in Cebu in the next few days, the weather bureau said yesterday.
Quiley Torregoza, weather observer at Pagasa’s Mactan, Cebu station, advised residents in Cebu to stay alert against floods and landslides. He also advised fishermen not to venture into the rough seas.
The low-pressure area, spotted near Malaybalay City in Bukidnon yesterday, is not likely to develop into a typhoon, however, said Torregoza.
But the low-pressure area, he said, may generate two millimeters of rain per hour, which can trigger floods if the rains last for several hours.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), no tropical cyclone threatened the country as of yesterday.
“Both LPA (low-pressure area) and tail-end of a cold front will continue to bring cloudy skies with scattered to widespread rains and thunderstorms in Southern Luzon, Visayas and Northern and Eastern Mindanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides,” Pagasa said in its weather advisory yesterday.
Torregoza said the northeast monsoon or amihan will also bring cloudy skies and rains in Cebu.
The public, he added, can expect a wet summer because of the La Niña phenomenon.

CEBU, Philippines - An ugly riot broke out after Johnriel “Quadro Alas” Casimero halted Argentina’s Luis Alberto Lazarte in the 10th round for the vacant IBF light flyweight title in Buenos Aires yesterday.
It was a chaotic victory for the Ormoc City native, who dropped hometown favorite Lazarte twice in the ninth round at the jam-packed Club Once Unidos in Mar del Plata in Argentina’s capital.
Even before referee Eddie Claudio could formally declare the winner, an army of disgruntled Argentine fans rushed to the ring and attacked Casimero and his team.
Even the IBF officials, led by fight supervisor Anibal Miramontes, and some cooler heads who attempted to calm down the situation were not spared by the wrath of angry fans.
Videos of the disgraceful incident, which became an instant hit in various social networking sites, showed Casimero, his manager Sammy ‘Don King” Gello-ani and trainer Pingping Teropa scampering for safety as chairs, bottles and wayward punches were flying all over the arena at the height of the melee.
Gello-ani’s wife Cora told The Freeman that her husband, Casimero and Tepora sustained only minor injuries.
“They’re okay now and are resting at their hotel room. They no longer had to go to the hospital because they only suffered minor injuries. They were also given police escorts to ensure their safety,” said Cora.
The two warriors actually fought on even terms until Casimero rattled Lazarte with a powerful shot to the chin at the end of round nine, hurting the Argentine who barely had the ability to stand in the 10th.
Prior to the stoppage, Lazarte was slapped with one-point deduction for biting Casimero in the neck in sixth round.
Casimero, of Omega Boxing stable based in Mabolo, Cebu City, also lost points for fouls in the fourth and eighth rounds.
Casimero, who will turn 22 years old tomorrow, improved his record to 16-2 with 10 KOs, while Lazarte fell to 49-11-2 (18 KOs).

CEBU CITY -- After massive cracks were found in a mountain in Ronda town, authorities said the residents should be evacuated to safer ground.
The cracks -- about three kilometers long -- found in Sitio Langin, Barangay Vive were caused by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit the provinces of Cebu and Negros Oriental last Monday, Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB)-Central Visayas Director Loreto Alburo said in a television report.
“We mapped this area before as susceptible to landslides,” Alburo said. “(It is a) permanent danger zone.”
A representative of the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD)-Central Visayas suggested that the Ronda Municipal Government conduct “pre-emptive evacuation” to keep anyone from getting hurt.
At the foot of the mountain, there are about 150 families living in 85 households and a school with a population of over 300 students.
Engr. Ver Neil Balaba, OCD-Central Visayas operations officer, said there is a possibility a landslide would occur during a heavy downpour.
“The cracks are a warning from nature,” he said in a phone interview with Sun.Star Cebu.
Balaba said a team from MGB-Central Visayas will conduct a geological survey to assess the extent of the damage in the area.
Ronda’s Municipal Engineer Oscar Pilapil said some of the cracks were old and the mountain is connected to a mountain in Kan-actol in Dumanjug town, where a fault line is located.
The official said Barangay Vive was declared a danger zone in 1996.
During the earthquake, Pilapil said, five houses were destroyed, while five others were damaged. Residents noticed smoke rising from the ground during the tremor.
A high school student, Mary Ann Tejas, said their house was destroyed after it was hit by a boulder.
Chief Inspector Bonifacio Tecson, in a phone interview, said personnel from the town’s disaster team and social workers checked Friday Barangay Vive, which is about 15 to 20 kilometers from the town proper.
“We already advised residents not to go near the mountain,” he said in Cebuano.
Tecson, Ronda police head, said he assigned two policemen to monitor the area. The barangay watchmen were also tapped to help the police.
He said residents can temporarily stay in a school in the barangay.
Residents said in a television interview that they wanted to leave their place, but they hesitated because it would mean leaving their livelihood, which is primarily farming.
“Pag-ampo aron maluwas mi dili madayon kay ang Ginoo ra ang makatabang nato (I will pray for our safety because God is the only one who can help us),” said Jenny Langunis, a student.
