PHL obtains P3.7-B JICA loan for Typhoon Tino rehab works

THE Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is providing a ¥10-billion (P3.7 billion) loan to support Philippine rehabilitation and recovery projects following Typhoon Tino.

In a statement on Jan. 20, JICA said it released the first tranche of the Post-Disaster Standby Loan Phase 3 (PDSL3), which aids the government in addressing urgent post-disaster needs and managing financial pressures during crises.

The loan disbursement had been requested by the Department of Finance after a State of National Calamity was declared due to the severe impact of the typhoon, JICA said.

Typhoon Tino left 150 people dead and affected about 4.1 million during its Nov. 4 passage.

The Philippines, one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, faces about 20 tropical storms each year.

“By making critical funds available, the PDSL3 enables the Philippine government to sustain response operations, ensure the continuity of vital public services, and transition into early recovery and reconstruction,” JICA Chief Representative Baba Takashi said.

PDSL3, signed through a loan agreement in August 2023, is part of a ¥30-billion facility to support recovery efforts after a natural disaster. 

JICA said the first phase of PDSL was triggered in 2013 following Typhoon Yolanda, followed by the second phase in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Japan remains the Philippines’ top development partner, accounting for 33.41% of total active commitments, equivalent to $13.23 billion across 82 loans and grants in 2024. — Aubrey Rose A. Inosante

BTC Leverage Builds Near $120K, Big Test Ahead

BTC Leverage Builds Near $120K, Big Test Ahead

The post BTC Leverage Builds Near $120K, Big Test Ahead appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: Heavy leverage builds at $118K–$120K, turning the zone into Bitcoin’s next critical resistance test. Rejection from point of interest with delta divergences suggests cooling momentum after the recent FOMC-driven spike. Support levels at $114K–$115K may attract buyers if BTC fails to break above $120K. BTC Leverage Builds Near $120K, Big Test Ahead Bitcoin was trading around $117,099, with daily volume close to $59.1 billion. The price has seen a marginal 0.01% gain over the past 24 hours and a 2% rise in the past week. Data shared by Killa points to heavy leverage building between $118,000 and $120,000. Heatmap charts back this up, showing dense liquidity bands in that zone. Such clusters of orders often act as magnets for price action, as markets tend to move where liquidity is stacked. Price Action Around the POI Analysis from JoelXBT highlights how Bitcoin tapped into a key point of interest (POI) during the recent FOMC-driven spike. This move coincided with what was called the “zone of max delta pain”, a level where aggressive volume left imbalances in order flow. Source: JoelXBT /X Following the test of this area, BTC faced rejection and began to pull back. Delta indicators revealed extended divergences, with price rising while buyer strength weakened. That mismatch suggests demand failed to keep up with the pace of the rally, leaving room for short-term cooling. Resistance and Support Levels The $118K–$120K range now stands as a major resistance band. A clean move through $120K could force leveraged shorts to cover, potentially driving further upside. On the downside, smaller liquidity clusters are visible near $114K–$115K. If rejection holds at the top, these levels are likely to act as the first supports where buyers may attempt to step in. Market Outlook Bitcoin’s next decisive move will likely form around the…
