Aquino General Hospital.

Activating a Code White Alert places clinical personnel, disaster response units, and health command centers on mandatory 24/7 standby, allowing healthcare workers to respond immediately to weather-related injuries, evacuations, and health crises.
The health alert coincides with a Red Rainfall Warning raised over the National Capital Region by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). In response to the persistent rains affecting Luzon, municipal authorities have activated local district welfare offices, neighborhood health centers, and emergency temporary shelters across the capital city.
