00:00At the moment, the sea is still being washed away by the Pipito storm.
00:05It is still far from our land.
00:07And it was last seen 145 kilometers west of Sinait, Ilocos Sur.
00:13This is due to the strong wind of 130 kilometers per hour near the center
00:17and a gust of wind of up to 160 kilometers per hour.
00:21This is moving at a rapid speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
00:26At the moment, we can see here in our satellite animation
00:30that although the center of the Pipito storm is being washed away by the sea,
00:34it is still part of the rain bands of this area of Northern Luzon
00:38and some areas of Central Luzon.
00:41So today, these areas will still experience strong gusts of wind
00:47and also rain and moderate to high risk of storm surge today.
00:53And we can see throughout this day,
00:56as the Pipito storm moves further out of our area of responsibility,
01:02the time will slowly fade to a large part of Luzon and some parts of our country.
01:11And according to our latest forecast track analysis of the Pipito storm,
01:16it will continue to move generally west-northwestward today
01:20and will move out of our area of responsibility this morning or later this afternoon.
01:26And we can see here in our forecast track,
01:29again, the center of the Pipito storm is in the ocean
01:33but we can notice that this area of the yellow circle is still part of the area of Northern Luzon
01:40and some parts of Central Luzon
01:43where today, there will still be strong gusts of wind
01:48and also of rain and we still have moderate to high risk of storm surge caused by the Pipito storm.
01:57And because of this, we still have a high wind signal number 3
02:02in the northern and western portions of Ilocos Sur,
02:05northwestern portion of La Union and western portion of Abra.
02:09Meanwhile, wind signal number 2 in Ilocos Norte, rest of Ilocos Sur, rest of La Union,
02:16in Pangasinan, rest of Abra, western portion of Mountain Province,
02:21Benguet, northern portion of Zambales,
02:24and wind signal number 1 in Apayau, Calinga, rest of Mountain Province,
02:29Ifugao, western portion of Cagayan, Nueva Vizcaya, northern and central portions of Nueva Ecija,
02:35Tarlac, and central portion of Zambales.
02:39The areas that we mentioned, especially the areas under wind signal number 3,
02:44will continue to experience strong gusts of wind caused by the Pipito storm.
02:50And we expect that in the next few days and within this day,
02:54these areas under wind signals will gradually decrease.
02:59But for now, we will still experience strong gusts of wind in these areas.
03:06So, we will continue to be careful for our countrymen.
03:11As for the rainfall, due to the outer rain bands of the Pipito storm,
03:16today, we still have moderate to heavy rainfall that will be experienced in Ilocos Sur, La Union,
03:22Pangasinan, Zambales, which is also part of Benguet,
03:26Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Aurora, and Cagayan,
03:30Isabela, which is also part of Batanes.
03:33So, we will continue to be careful for our countrymen in the face of floods and landslides,
03:39especially in the areas near rivers, mountains, and hills,
03:46where we are prone to flash floods and landslides.
03:56At the moment, we still have moderate to high risk of storm surge,
04:02where the possibility of storm surge is 2.1 to 3 meters high,
04:07in the areas of La Union, Ilocos Sur, and Pangasinan,
04:11while 1 to 2 meters in Aurora, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Isabela, Pangasinan, and Zambales.
04:18So, if we still have moderate to high risk of storm surge,
04:22it is better to stay away from coastal areas
04:26and also go to higher areas to avoid flooding caused by storm surge.
04:33And if we have moderate to high risk of storm surge,
04:38it is better to suspend our water or marine activities,
04:44such as surfing or swimming in the coastal areas of the mentioned areas.
04:53And at the moment, we still have moderate to high risk of storm surge
04:58in the areas of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan,
05:02even in the northern coast of Zambales, eastern coast of Cagayan, and in the part of Isabela.
05:08Meanwhile, we also have moderate to high risk of storm surge in the area of Batanes,
05:14just like what we are expecting, incoming northeasterly wind flow in the next few hours.
05:24And for the current time of Monday,
05:28we still have strong winds and also heavy rains in the area of Ilocos region,
05:36just like what happened in Baguio-Pepito.
05:38Meanwhile, we still have strong winds and heavy rains here in Cordillera Administrative Region
05:46and also here in the area of Zambales.
05:49Meanwhile, our skies will still be cloudy in a large part of Cagayan Valley,
05:56in a large part of Central Luzon, in the area of Calabar Zone,
06:01and here in Metro Manila today where we still have a chance of heavy rains.
06:07Heavy rains and landslides are the result of trough or the extension of Baguio-Pepito.
06:13Meanwhile, in the lower part of Luzon,
06:16we will only experience isolated rains resulting from localized thunderstorms.
06:23Meanwhile, in the area of Visayas and Mindanao today,
06:27our skies will continue to be cloudy.
06:32We will still experience isolated rains
06:36resulting from localized thunderstorms.
