00:00Good morning, let's first update on the Tropical Depression Christine that we are monitoring.

00:07This is Christine.

00:09Earlier, at 4 in the afternoon, she was at a distance of 760 kilometers east of Katarman, northern Samar.

00:16She was experiencing strong winds that reached 55 kilometers per hour

00:21and storms that reached 70 kilometers per hour.

00:24She was moving in the direction of Canluran in a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.

00:29So, comparing the wind speed earlier at 11 a.m., this is a bit slower.

00:34We can also see in our satellite image that although Christine is a bit far away,

00:41her circulation is wide.

00:44Although the direct effect here in the eastern part of Southern Luzon and Eastern Visayas,

00:50her travel extension will affect a large part of our country.

00:54That is why it is possible that it will affect a large part of our country.

01:00What are we expecting with regards to Christine's track?

01:04So, in the next 12 hours, it is possible that she will reach the Tropical Storm category.

01:10So, if Christine becomes a Tropical Storm, it is possible that we will see storm surge warnings.

01:16By Wednesday, it is possible that it will become a Severe Tropical Storm

01:21or a Typhoon category by Thursday before it landfalls around the Northern Luzon area.

01:27So, before it landfalls in our country, it is possible that it will slow down.

01:31That is why we will feel the strong rains and strong winds.

01:35That is why we will be with you in the upcoming updates of Pag-asa

01:39as well as the Regional Services Division for the Rainfall Advisory,

01:43Heavy Rainfall Warning, or Thunderstorm Advisory.

01:47Like what we mentioned earlier, it is possible that it will landfall in the Northern Luzon area

01:52by Thursday evening or Friday morning.

01:55We will also see that it will landfall in the area of uncertainty or cone of probability.

02:01Not only in the Northern Luzon area, but also in the other parts of Central Luzon.

02:06That is why we are always on the lookout for changes in the track

02:10because we do not rule out changes in the forecast track.

02:15We also do not rule out rapid intensification.

02:19That is why we will be with you in the upcoming updates of our agency.

02:27We also have a high signal number 1.

02:30This is currently the highest tropical cyclone wind signal

02:33in the southeastern portion of Isabela, Aurora,

02:37northern and eastern portion of Quezon as well as Polilio Island,

02:41Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon,

02:46Masbate as well as Anticao and Buryas Islands.

02:50In Visayas, the highest signal number 1 is in Eastern Samar,

02:54Northern Samar, Samar, Leyte, Biliran and Southern Leyte.

03:00In Mindanao, the signal number 1 is high.

03:02In Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte as well as Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands.

03:08It is possible that the highest tropical cyclone wind signal

03:11for Christine is the signal number 4.

03:15So even if Christine is stronger,

03:19we do not rule out the possibility of a higher tropical cyclone wind signal.

03:26We also expect strong winds today in Batanes,

03:31Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, southern portion of Palawan,

03:34Siquijor, Bohol, Zamboanga Peninsula, northern Mindanao,

03:38Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Agusan del Norte,

03:41Barm, Sarangani, Del Sur, Davao Oriental.

03:46Tomorrow, in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte,

03:49Ilocos Sur, Palawan, Romblon, Aklan, Antique, Negros Island Region,

03:54northern portion of Cebu, Bohol, southern Leyte, Zamboanga del Norte,

03:59northern Mindanao, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Agusan del Norte,

04:05Sarangani, Davao del Sur, and Davao Oriental.

04:08And when Wednesday comes,

04:10strong winds are possible in Mimaropa, Visayas, and Mindanao.

04:16We also issued a weather advisory for this cyclone.

04:23Today, until tomorrow afternoon,

04:26strong rains are possible, heavy to intense,

04:29in Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and northern Samar.

04:33Moderate to heavy in Romblon, Marinduque, Quezon,

04:36southern portion of Bicol Region, and southern portion of eastern Visayas.

04:42Tomorrow afternoon, in Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.

04:50Heavy to intense, 100 to 200 mm of rain,

04:54in northern Bicol Region, northern Samar, Samar, and eastern Samar.

04:59Moderate to heavy rains, 50 to 100 mm,

05:03in Micaguayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region,

05:06in eastern Visayas, Quezon, Romblon, Marinduque, and Aurora.

05:12For strong rains, Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon,

05:17heavy to intense in Micaguayan, Isabela, Apayau, Aurora, and Quezon.

05:22Moderate to heavy in the southern part of Cordillera Administrative Region,

05:26southern part of Cagayan Valley, and Ilocos Region.

05:29Again, we are always up to date with the upcoming updates

05:32of our regional services, division, and heavy rainfall warnings.

05:37We are hoping that in elevated areas or mountainous areas,

05:43it is possible that the rains will be stronger,

05:45but be careful in low-lying areas and flood-prone areas,

05:49in areas prone to flooding or landslides.

05:53We also have elevated gale warnings here in Camarines Norte,

05:58northern and eastern coasts of Camarines Sur,

06:00eastern coasts of Albay, in Catanduanes,

06:03eastern coasts of Sorsogon,

06:05and the northern and eastern coasts of northern Samar.

06:09If possible, our countrymen should not go abroad.

06:12There are small boats or motorbikes in areas prone to flooding

06:18or landslides, because it will be flood-prone.

06:23Here, we are hoping that our country will generally be flood-prone,

06:29but we can expect floods in the northern coasts of the Philippines

06:35and the eastern coasts of the Philippines.
