1 hurt in N. Cotabato blast

Keanu Jahns carded a sensational seven-under-par 64 to wrest a one-shot lead over Enrico Gallardo in the rain-hit ICTSI Forest Hills Classic at the Nicklaus course here yesterday.

Tropical Storm Helen (International name: Pulasan) is set to leave the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) by Wednesday night, September 18, but it will still enhance the southwest monsoon or habagat, triggering rain and winds across the country. 

Twenty individuals died due to the combined effects of the enhanced southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, and tropical cyclones "Ferdie" and "Gener."
