Matud pa ni Department of Science an Technology (DOST) Undersecretary ug PAGASA Officer-in-Charge Graciano Yumul, nasulod ang LPA sa Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) nga naka-apekto sa Southern Luzon, Visayas ug Mindanao. Giingon nga kun walay pagbag-o sa lihok niini, posibleng maigo ni Ramon ang Batanes sa Biyernes o Sabado sa dili pa kini mosulod sa West Philippine Sea. Daku ang posibilidad nga maghatag ang Bagyong Ramon og mga pag-ulan sa Northern Luzon apil na ang Cagayan ug Isabela tungod sa dakong dayametro sa mga bagyong mosulod sa nasud sama nila Pedring ug Quiel. Tungod niini, nipasidaan ang Pagasa sa mga residenteng anaa sa kasadpang bahin sa Luzon ug Visayas batok sa storm surge o kusog nga paghapak sa balod sa mga kabaybayonan nga dala sa hanging habagat.

Base sa forecast sa United States’ Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), giingong gipaabot nga mosulod sa Philippine area of responsbility ang usa ka “potentially strong tropical depression” ugma.

Sa pagkakaron, naa pa kini dapit sa Pacific Ocean nga adunay code name nga “Tropical Depression 22W”.

Giingong aduna kini kusog nga hangin nga moabot sa 46 kilometers per hour (kph) ug katapusang nasigpatan sa gilay-ong 1,296 kilometers sa habagatang-sidlakan sa Kadena Air Base, Japan.

Gitahak niini ang amihanang kasadpan nga direksyon sa kusog nga 6 kph.

Sa nahiunang pahayag sa Department of Science and Technology (DoST)-Pagasa, kun padayong mosulod sa nasud kining maong tropical depression, tawagon kining bagyong Quiel. (PIA-Bohol/ ecb)

In the bureau’s 11 a.m. press conference, PAGASA said Chedeng has intensified into a typhoon
as it remained almost stationary at 350 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar.

Chedeng has maximum sustained winds of 130 kilometers per hour (kph) and moving 9 kph west
northwest.

It had slightly changed its course as it approached Samar and toward Camarines Norte. It may hit
Metro Manila and some of the southern parts of Luzon, weather forecaster Robert Sawi said.

Signal No. 2 is now hoisted over Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines
Norte, and Samar provinces.

Signal No. 1, on the other hand, has been raised over Marinduque, Masbate, Burias and Ticao
Islands, Southern Quezon, Polillo Island, Northern Leyte and Biliran Island. (PIA)

Robert Sawi, weather branch chief of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), said the northeast monsoon – the system
that brings rain and cool weather to the country – is expected to end this February.

Sawi said the public can expect gradually increasing temperatures in the coming days.

Sawi, meanwhile, said Pagasa expects a normal onset of the summer season for the areas
under Type I climate which includes Metro Manila Ilocos Region, western part of Mountain
Province, western part of Nueva Ecija, Central Luzon, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Tarlac,
Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan, Zambales, Occidental Mindoro, southern parts of Antique and
Iloilo, northwestern part of Palawan, and the southern parts of Negros Oriental and Negros
Occidental.

Areas under Type I climate have two pronounced seasons – dry from November to April and
wet during the rest of the year. Its maximum rain period is from June to September.

Although there will be rains during the dry season due to lingering La Nina phenomenon, high
temperatures are still expected during summer, Sawi said. (PIA)

Forecast:
Southern Luzon will have mostly cloudy skies with rains. The rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with light rains. Visayas and Mindanao will have cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming widespread rains over Eastern Visayas and Northeastern Mindanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the Northeast will prevail over Luzon and from the Northeast and East over Visayas and Eastern Mindanao and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the Northeast and East with slight to moderate seas.

The President issued the directive to NDRRMC head and Defense Secretary Voltaire
Gazmin following reports of casualties in Southern Luzon, Bicol region, Eastern Visayas and
Mindanao due to floods and landslides last month.

The President noted that in spite of his earlier directive for concerned agencies to evacuate
residents in risk areas, there were still casualties.

“Today , I asked the Secretary of National Defense, being the head of the NDRRMC, to find
out exactly why there were two people who died in the same place, “ he said referring to St.
Bernard in Southern Leyte , where over a thousand residents died when flashfloods hit the
community in 2006. The recent heavy downpour also caused floods and landslides in the
area and claimed at least two lives.

The NDRRMC said at least 37,124 families or 197,641 people from 242 barangays in 39
towns in 10 provinces had been affected. (PIA/PCOO)
