00:00Super Typhoon Leon is still approaching Batanes.
00:06And the last time it hit was at 10 p.m.
00:08150 kilometers away from the coast of the town of Basco.
00:12The maximum sustained winds are still 185 kilometers per hour
00:17close to the town of Batanes.
00:19And there is a downpour up to 230 kilometers per hour.
00:23The typhoon is still moving north-south
00:27and slowing down at 15 kilometers per hour.
00:31The typhoon's strength reaches the northern and central Luzon.
00:38During the rain, as seen in our satellite animation,
00:42a large part of Luzon and Visayas experienced heavy rains
00:46and it is still the strongest in the extreme northern Luzon
00:50where the typhoon Leon is closest to.
00:53On the western side of Luzon, we also experienced heavy rains.
00:58Based on our latest satellite animation,
01:01after the typhoon Leon, we do not expect a typhoon
01:04to enter our Philippine area of responsibility
01:06in the early days of November.
01:10Based on the latest track of hope,
01:12it is expected that the typhoon Leon will still move north-westward or to the upper left.
01:18It is expected that it will still be the closest
01:20to the province of Batanes.
01:26It is also expected that it will landfall in the eastern part of Taiwan
01:30by noon or afternoon.
01:33By evening, the typhoon may slowly weaken
01:37knowing that it will landfall and there will be an interaction
01:40in the rugged terrain or mountainous part of Taiwan.
01:43It will emerge by tomorrow night here on the western side of Taiwan
01:48and will leave the Philippine area of responsibility
01:51by late evening tomorrow until the early morning of Friday.
01:55In terms of intensity,
01:57from now until tomorrow morning,
01:59the typhoon Leon will remain at its peak
02:04and when it reaches the province of Taiwan,
02:06it is possible that it will weaken as a typhoon
02:09towards the eastern portion of China.
02:11It will suddenly weaken into a severe tropical storm and tropical storm.
02:16Based on our latest track,
02:18we can see the color orange.
02:20These are the places that will have the strongest rainfall
02:24while there are still strong winds in a large part of the northern
02:27and portions of the central zone
02:29because the radius reaches 600 kilometers
02:32and the total diameter reaches 1,200 kilometers.
02:38At present, the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 5 is high.
02:42This is the highest signal that we can give in one place.
02:45These are the towns of Itbayat and Vasco in Batanes.
02:48While we have Signal No. 4 in the remaining part of Batanes
02:52and Signal No. 3 in the islands of Babuyan, Camiguin, and Calayan
02:58in the Babuyan Islands
03:00and here in the town of Santa Ana in the mainland of Cagayan.
03:03If we have Signals No. 3, 4, and 5,
03:06for the next 12 hours, we will experience strong winds
03:10that can destroy trees and crops,
03:13that can also destroy houses, not just the trees
03:16and can also destroy posts and power lines.
03:19Meanwhile, for the next 12 hours,
03:22we can also expect strong winds.
03:24Signal No. 2 in the remaining part of the Babuyan Islands
03:27and mainland of Cagayan,
03:29in the northern portion of Isabela,
03:31in the province of Apayau,
03:33northern portion of Calinga,
03:35northern portion of Abra,
03:36and the whole of Ilocos Norte.
03:38And we also have Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1
03:42here in the remaining part of Isabela,
03:44in Querino, Nueva Vizcaya,
03:47remaining part of Abra,
03:49rest of Calinga,
03:50down in the mountain province,
03:52Ifugao, Benguet, Ilocos Sur, and La Union.
03:55Signal No. 1.
03:58We also have Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1
04:01in the northern and central portions of Pangasinan,
04:03northern and eastern portions of Nueva Ecija,
04:06and in the northern and central portions of Aurora.
04:10These are the signals No. 1 and No. 2.
04:12Within the next 12 hours or until tomorrow afternoon,
04:15they will still experience a gust of wind
04:18like this Tropical Cyclone Lion,
04:20and we expect in the next few days,
04:23possibly while the storm is rising,
04:25our signals will be reduced here in the central zone
04:28and the southern part of Ilocos, Cordillera, and Cagayan Valley.
04:34Aside from the strong winds,
04:36we will also experience strong rains
04:39in the next 24 hours in a large part of the zone,
04:42especially in the northern and western portions.
04:45We have more than 200 mm of rain
04:48in Batanes and Cagayan,
04:50as well as in Baboyan Islands,
04:51where Tropical Cyclone Lion is the closest.
04:54We also have 100-200 mm of rain tomorrow,
04:58or that's around 100-200 mm,
05:01heavy to intense,
05:02in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Apayaw, Abra,
05:05Occidental Mindoro, and Calanian Islands.
05:08While we have moderate to heavy rains,
05:11or between 50-100 mm of rain,

05:17Mountain Province, Benguet, Isabela,
05:20Pababa, Sambales, Bataan, Cavite,
05:23Batangas, Antique, and Negros Occidental.
05:27These are the areas where we may experience heavy rainfall warnings
05:31and rainfall advisories by October 31, Thursday.
05:36By the end of Friday,
05:37as the Tropical Cyclone Lion rises and leaves Par,
05:41we will still experience heavy to intense rains in Batanes,
05:45and moderate to heavy rains in Baboyan Islands,
05:48Ilocos Norte, Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro,
05:53and Calanian Islands.
05:57Metro Manila,
05:58the remaining part of Luzon,
05:59and the remaining part of Visayas,
06:01will still have dark weather,
06:03especially within the next 24 hours,
06:05and will experience scattered rains and thunderstorms.
06:09Sometimes it gets stronger when we have thunderstorms,
06:11but this is not comparable to the Tropical Cyclone Christine.
06:15So make sure to stay up to date with our updates,
06:18heavy rainfall warnings and rainfall advisories.
06:21Beware of floods,
06:23especially in low-lying areas.
06:25It is also possible for rivers to overflow and flood.
06:28And in mountainous areas,
06:30especially in the Cordillera Region and Caraballo Mountains,
06:33as well as Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges,
06:36it is also possible for landslides to occur.
06:38Make sure that we are coordinated with our local disaster risk reduction and management offices
06:42if an evacuation is needed.
06:44Also, contact local chief executives
06:47for possible suspension in class and work.
06:51And in terms of the severe winds experienced by some parts of our country,
06:55this is due to the wind flow,
06:57the wind that enters Baguio-Leon.
07:00Tomorrow, we will still experience floods in a large part of the Cordillera Region,
07:05including Aurora, Bataan, Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya.
07:09Metro Manila, even though it is far from Baguio,
07:11as well as Calabarzon, will still experience floods,
07:13as well as in Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Northern Samar,
07:17and a large part of Western Visayas.
07:19And while Baguio-Leon is moving away
07:21and the wind signals will be removed,
07:23there is still strong winds in Batanes and Babueng Group of Islets.
07:28And in terms of high waves,
07:30we also have a gale warning
07:32here in a large town of Luzon
07:34up to 14 meters in a large part of our ocean,
07:39here in Batanes,
07:40and more than 5 meters in Cagayan
07:43and a town of Isabela.
07:47There is also an expectation of 2.8 to 5.5 meters of high waves
07:51up to two levels of Guzali
07:53in towns of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur,
07:56Aurora, Northeastern Coast of Polilio Islands,
08:00Camarines Norte, Hilaga, and Silangang Baybayan of Catanduanes.
08:05If we have wind signals,
08:06sea travel will be automatically suspended
08:09for all types of sea vessels.
08:11While if we have a gale warning and no wind signals,
08:14it is possible that small and medium-sized sea vessels will still be prohibited.
08:20So make sure that especially during the long weekend,
08:24we are accompanied by our Coast Guards for possible suspension.
08:29And for the storm surge,
08:33these are the areas that are closest to a gale.
08:36More than three meters high of gales will be experienced
08:40or the rapid flow of water to our coastal communities
08:44in Batanes and Calayan and Cagayan.
08:47So make sure that we are also accompanied
08:49and for possible evacuation,
08:51especially to your barangay or local chief executives.
