Hi daily, Rappler will be covering and monitoring President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) this July 28! Ahead of the SONA, we've worked with partners to help make sense of how the President has fared midway through his presidency in addressing top issues of Filipinos. Together, we've produced videos, community chats, and stories. On SONA day, we hope you can join us in monitoring the SONA by being part of our community chat where we will do real-time commentary and fact-checking in the Philippine Politics chat room of the Rappler app on Monday, July 28, 4 to 6 pm. During this chat, you can share your thoughts and reactions, in real-time, as President Marcos delivers his SONA in the Philippine Politics chat room. You can also flag inaccurate claims, promises unfulfilled, or context on various issues mentioned during the SONA. Your insights can help inform our coverage, as well as help our fact-checkers know if there's anything that needs to be verified from the President's speech. With your help, we'll get to better capture the state of the nation.

Show us how the weather is affecting your community

Dear daily, In the past few days, several parts of the country have been battered by heavy rainfall due to the enhanced southwest monsoon or habagat. On top of the habagat, there are now two tropical cyclones inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility – tropical depression Emong, and tropical storm Dante. Both are enhancing the habagat, the main source of rain for several days now. Rappler has been sharing updates in the Project Agos chat room, but we need your help so people have more eyes on what's going on in other parts of the Philippines. With your contribution, more people are updated as to how the weather is affecting different parts of the Philippines. This could help inform locals, disaster responders, officials, and organizations aiming to provide relief to affected areas. More than that, you help give a visual to the data and news reports that are being put out. We're using the Rappler app to offer you, a valued member of our community, a space to shape our coverage, and be a part of conversations on pressing issues. Downloading the Rappler app is FREE, and available on both iOS and Android. Join Project Agos - HabagatPH chat room Here are some ways you can help out during this time: Stay updated and informed by joining the Project Agos - HabagatPH chat room in the Rappler app. In the chat room, you get alerts, advisories, and other updates about the weather, as well as see reports from concerned citizens about how different parts of the country are faring. Share photos and updates to the Project Agos - HabagatPH chat room. Is there flooding in your area? Is your electricity out? Are there interesting incidents that you are seeing in your area because of the weather? You can share the situation and a photo to the chat room so more people are aware about what's going on in your area. If you spot any on social media, we highly advise verifying these first before sharing to the chat room. Found a relief initiative for those affected? Share them with us! If you spotted a relief initiative to help those affected, feel free to send the link and details to the volunteer opportunities chat room in the Rappler app. We will then collate these in a page for easy reference!
