Pagasa Forecasts Isolated Thunderstorms and Rain in Davao Region on September 15-16, 2025

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has issued a weather advisory forecasting partly cloudy to cloudy conditions accompanied by isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in the Davao Region from September 15 to 16, 2025. According to Pagasa, thunderstorms typically develop in localized areas during the afternoon or evening hours, preceded by relatively fair weather in the mornings. While sunshine is expected to persist intermittently during the daytime, sudden episodes of heavy rain—often coupled with strong winds and lightning—may occur later in the day. These intense weather events have the potential to cause flash floods and landslides, particularly in vulnerable flood-prone and mountainous zones within Davao del Sur, Davao del Norte, Davao de Oro, Davao Oriental, and Davao Occidental. Pagasa strongly advised residents living in low-lying areas, near riverbanks, and in landslide-susceptible terrain to remain vigilant and prepare for possible evacuations if needed. Local government units have been prompted to ensure that evacuation centers are readied and accessible to accommodate affected populations. Despite the risk of sudden storms, authorities encourage utilizing the clearer morning hours for outdoor activities, while staying alert to abrupt weather changes throughout the day. The public is urged to follow official updates and avoid unverified reports to minimize misinformation and prevent public anxiety.

Terence Crawford Challenges Canelo Álvarez in Historic Super Middleweight Title Bout

LAS VEGAS — Terence “Bud” Crawford, undefeated and undisputed champion in two weight divisions, is set to make history this Saturday by attempting an unprecedented jump of two weight classes to face Saul “Canelo” Álvarez, the reigning undisputed super middleweight champion. With an impeccable record of 41-0, including 31 knockouts, Crawford’s dominant career spans super lightweight and welterweight divisions. The Omaha native now pursues a bold third undisputed title, seeking to secure a unique place in boxing lore. Standing across the ring at Allegiant Stadium will be Canelo Álvarez, boasting a record of 63-2-2 with 39 knockouts. Álvarez unified the super middleweight belts in 2021 and successfully defended them in his most recent fight against William Scull this May in Riyadh. The event is part of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season, amplified globally through partnerships with UFC’s Dana White and Netflix. Despite Crawford’s height and reach advantages, the challenge is immense as he confronts a naturally larger and powerful opponent. Canelo, renowned for overcoming formidable punchers in multiple weight classes, remains a daunting force. Crawford, confident in his ability to offset Canelo’s power through timing and superior footwork, embraces the risk. Addressing doubts about his readiness, he remarked, \"I feel great. I\'m ready to shock the world. My shoulder is messed up, everybody, but don\'t tell Canelo.\" For Álvarez, this fight represents more than just another high-profile bout. It is an opportunity to dispel claims that his capabilities are waning, particularly amid a nearly four-year knockout drought. He stated, \"This is one of the biggest fights of my career. If the knockout comes, good. If not, I\'ll show why I\'m the best.\" Crawford views the match as the culmination of enduring skepticism about his career achievements and public recognition. \"It\'s been a long time coming. People have underestimated everything about me. Saturday, they\'ll see what they\'ve been missing,\" he declared. Scheduled on the weekend of Mexican Independence Day, the event promises a vibrant crowd strongly backing Álvarez. Crawford, accepting his role as the underdog and antagonist in the eyes of many fans, remains unfazed. This Las Vegas showdown will pit two elite fighters with four-division championship pedigrees against each other. As Crawford seeks to expand his legacy and Canelo defends his territory, the evening promises a historic battle where glory will be earned, not given.
