00:00A typhoon has hit Mindanao for the past week.
00:04Let's get an update from Weather Specialist Rea Torres.
00:09Good evening, Ms. Rea Torres.
00:11This is Sheila Salaisay reporting for Balit ng Pambansa.
00:14Good evening, good evening to our listeners.
00:18Ms. Rea, when will the typhoon Kerubin hit the country?
00:24For now, it's affecting some parts of Mindanao,
00:28and the number one signal in Davao Oriental is high.
00:33Meanwhile, this typhoon will cause heavy rains in Visayas and Mindanao.
00:40It's possible for today until the coming days,
00:44particularly until the coming weekend.
00:46So for now, based on our forecast,
00:49it's possible for today until tomorrow,
00:52we will still experience heavy rains.
00:55This typhoon will also affect the Mindanao area as well as portions of Visayas.
01:00Will this affect Metro Manila and Luzon?
01:05For the Metro Manila area, we don't expect this typhoon to affect it.
01:10It's more likely that the typhoon will hit parts of Maula Pangas and Maula Kalangitan.
01:19So this typhoon will only affect Visayas and Mindanao.
01:24How strong is this typhoon Kerubin?
01:28For now, based on our forecast,
01:30it will remain a tropical depression.
01:33While it's affecting the coastal areas of Mindanao,
01:37it's possible that it will weaken and become a low-pressure area.
01:41Based on our forecast,
01:43this low-pressure area will mostly affect Visayas and Mindanao until the coming weekend.
01:51You mentioned that it will rain in Visayas and Mindanao,
01:56but let's talk about Canlaon.
01:58What will be the effect of this typhoon on the volcano?
02:02For now, weather-wise,
02:04when it comes to Mount Canlaon,
02:07we can expect that it will rain for the rest of the week.
02:11So it's possible that there will be a high possibility of lock-air flow as well as flooding.
02:15So as much as possible,
02:17our countrymen should be prepared.
02:19Let's listen to our LGUs and local disaster risk reduction management units.
02:26Thank you very much, Ms. Rhea Torres.
