On 30 October 2024, Malacañang issued Proclamation No. 728 which declares 04 November 2024 as a Day of National Mourning for the victims of Severe Tropical Storm Kristine (international name: Trami).

From 21 to 25 October 2024, STS Kristine brought torrential rains and violent winds that triggered widespread flooding and landslides in the Philippines, causing loss of lives, destruction of property, damage to agriculture and critical infrastructure, and disruption of the means of livelihood and way of life of many Filipinos.

The national flag at the Embassy is flown at half-mast in solidarity with the bereaved families and loved ones of those who perished due to the devastation caused by the storm.
