Super Typhoon Sinlaku, the strongest storm of 2026, struck the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands this week, flooding homes, ripping off roofs and leaving residents without power or water for over two days. The Category 5 storm with 185 mph winds followed a path similar to Super Typhoon Yutu eight years ago, hitting Saipan and Tinian after affecting nearby areas. It arrived months before the typical typhoon season, raising concerns amid ongoing economic struggles and federal funding issues.

Ayon kay PAL president Richard Nuttall, nagpapatibay ito ng posisyon ng Manila bilang regional transit hub at gateway para sa medical tourism. Kasabay nito, muling nag-ooperate ang PAL ng flights patungong Saipan.
