00:00For an update on the situation in Baguio-Leon, we will be joined live by Veronica Torres, weather specialist from Pagasa.
00:07Ms. Veronica, good morning.
00:09Good morning to all of you and to all of our viewers.
00:14Why did the possibility of a super typhoon occur in Baguio-Leon?
00:19Yes, because Leon is still in the ocean. It started from the sea.
00:24And while it is crossing or while it is in the Philippine Sea in our east, it is accumulating strength.
00:30That is why now, although in the next 12 hours, it is possible for it to go to the typhoon category,
00:36the possibility of a super typhoon will not be ruled out yet.
00:39It is possible for it to become a super typhoon as it approaches Batanglis.
00:43Does this mean that the possibility of a typhoon in Baguio-Leon is more likely?
00:49If we look at the intensity, Leon has more strength.
00:57But if we look at Leon's track, it still remains far from our landmass.
01:04It is not like Christine's track where there was a landfall.
01:07That is why we can feel it more.
01:08Leon's track has a lower chance of being higher than Christine's track.
01:15Is there a chance for Leon's track to go down and landfall in our country?
01:20Yes. What we can see in the area, if we look at Leon's track,
01:27its center is still far from our landmass.
01:31But the area of probability or when there is a shift in the direction of the typhoon
01:37is close to those in the extreme northern Luzon area.
01:41So the landfall or close approach to Batanglis and Babuyan Islands
01:45is not yet ruled out.
01:48Ms. Veronica, can we say that Leon's track will go down compared to Christine's track?
01:56Yes. In terms of rainfall, although there are parts of the Philippines where it is raining now,
02:03Leon's track has a lower chance of being higher.
02:08Christine's track did landfall.
02:12Before it landfalled, it moved to the east of our country.
02:17That is why there is a lot of damage, especially in the Bicol region,
02:20and in the eastern sections of Luzon.
02:22Leon's track, we can see that it is recurring.
02:26That is why the chance of it being higher is lower.
02:33Ms. Veronica, this is the last question.
02:35For the upcoming typhoon, will it be rainy?
02:40Yes. We can see that when the typhoon arrives,
02:44because it is far from our landmass,
02:49if it will rain, it will be possible in the eastern section of the northern central Luzon
02:54or the western section of Luzon.
02:57Good morning. Thank you very much, Ms. Veronica Torres,
03:00weather specialist from Pagasa.
