00:03 Good evening everyone.
00:05 This is the latest update on the storm that we are watching, Bagyong Goring.
00:09 It has again risen and is now in the Super Typhoon category again.
00:14 As of 11pm today, Wednesday.
00:18 We can see in our latest satellite images,
00:21 the last sight of the center of the eye of Bagyong Goring
00:25 is near the Kalayan River in Babuyan Islands.
00:30 It has intensified again as it is still in the ocean.
00:37 Its current strength is 185 km/h.
00:41 It is near the middle of the storm at 230 km/h.
00:46 It is now moving towards the northern part of the country at a speed of 10 km/h.
00:51 Meanwhile, we are also expecting another storm with an international name, Haikuwi,
00:57 to enter the country tomorrow, Wednesday.
01:00 This time, it will enter the park.
01:02 We will call it HANA.
01:04 Later, I will give you an update on the second storm that we are expecting to enter this month of August.
01:10 Meanwhile, the continuous rise of the southwest monsoon in the Havagat
01:14 is intensifying Bagyong Goring.
01:18 It will bring rain, particularly in the large part of Luzon and Western Visayas.
01:24 This is the latest track of Bagyong Goring.
01:27 Actually, this is the most crucial time, particularly in the Batanes and Babuyan Islands
01:34 because the storm is moving near Babuyan Islands.
01:38 It could landfall on one of the islands of Babuyan Islands
01:42 or near the Batang Islands of Batanes
01:46 from tonight until tomorrow afternoon.
01:49 To our fellow countrymen, this place is already dangerous
01:53 and the effect will be very big.
01:56 The strong wind that was blown by Bagyong Goring in this area of our country
02:03 will bring strong winds and strong rains.
02:08 We are still expecting that this will bring strong rains and winds,
02:13 particularly in the Batanes and Babuyan Islands from tonight until tomorrow.
02:18 This is the most crucial time, particularly in the extreme northern part of Luzon.
02:24 We are expecting that this will come out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility
02:28 on Wednesday morning or Thursday morning.
02:35 For now, because of the super typhoon category, Bagyong Goring has reached signal number 5,
02:40 particularly in the northeastern part of Babuyan Islands.
02:43 The strong wind and rain will bring this, particularly in the Babuyan Islands.
02:50 Signal number 4 now is in the southern part of Batanes,
02:54 northwestern and southeastern part of Babuyan Islands.
02:58 Signal number 3 is in the northern part of Batanes, Babuyan Islands,
03:03 and Dulong, the northern part of the mainland of Cagayan.
03:07 Signal number 2 is in the northern and eastern portion of mainland Cagayan,
03:11 northwestern part of Ilocos Norte, and northwestern part of Apayau.
03:16 Meanwhile, signal number 1 is in the northern and eastern portion of Isabela,
03:21 northwestern part of Ilocos Norte, northwestern part of Cagayan, Apayau,
03:25 northwestern part of Abra, and Calinga.
03:28 We can see here on our map, Ilocos Norte, Apayau, Cagayan, Batanes area,
03:35 and Isabela, Calinga, and Abra are the areas in the northern zone
03:39 where the strongest effects of the storm Goring will occur
03:44 because of the strong wind and heavy rain.
03:48 Be careful, especially our fellow countrymen in these areas
03:52 where our winds are high.
03:55 Meanwhile, these are the strong winds that we expect,
03:59 this is the end of the storm Goring.
04:01 The strong rain is particular to the areas I mentioned,
04:05 Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and also to the parts of Calinga, Apayau, Abra, and Ilocos Norte.
04:13 You can see that most of the areas I mentioned will experience heavy rain
04:18 due to the storm Goring.
04:20 Meanwhile, due to the southwestern part of Habagat,
04:25 we have released a weather advisory.
04:27 The rain will be strong from tonight until tomorrow,
04:31 particularly in the parts of Sambales, Bataan, Antique, Negros Occidental, Guimaras,
04:36 southern portion of Palawan, and also in the other parts of Palawan, Occidental, Mindoro.
04:41 When the day of Wednesday arrives, or tomorrow night,
04:44 until Thursday or Thursday night,
04:47 it will still be raining in Sambales, Bataan, and Manila.
04:51 The rain will be experienced, particularly, possibly,
04:54 only on Wednesday or Thursday night,
04:57 in the areas of Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, and in the parts of Palawan and Occidental, Mindoro.
05:03 The rain will continue, particularly, until Friday,
05:07 because when the storm Goring will come out,
05:10 the storm with the international name of Haikue will come in, which we call HANA.
05:15 They will still be in Habagat, and this is what we expect to experience.
05:19 Particularly, in the large part of Luzon, especially the western section of Luzon.
05:25 And in the areas where we say that there will be strong rains,
05:29 in the large part of western Luzon and western Visayas,
05:33 the precautions are different, especially in the sudden floods and landslides.
05:38 Meanwhile, our gale warning is still high.
05:41 You will notice that almost the whole country, particularly in Luzon and Visayas,
05:45 and in the areas of Ilagang, Mindanao, the sea vehicles and small boats are in danger of flooding in this part of our country.
05:52 You will see on our map the areas where there are red-colored areas,
05:58 we expect that the sea will be flooded.
06:01 So, the sea vehicles and small boats are in danger of flooding.
06:05 And it is also possible that the trips of some boats and vehicles will be canceled
06:10 because the sea vehicles will be in danger of flooding.
06:14 As for the sudden floods, we will notice that a large part of the Luzon area
06:20 will experience sudden floods, landslides, and strong winds.
06:25 And it is also possible that there will be a tornado that will reach western Visayas.
06:30 We are now passing by the severe tropical storm Haikoui
06:35 which is still outside the Philippine airport's responsibility.
06:37 We were able to see it.
06:39 It is more than 1,500 kilometers from the extreme northern Luzon, Taglay,
06:44 the strongest wind that can reach 110 kilometers per hour.
06:47 It is close to the middle and it will reach 135 kilometers per hour.
06:51 It is causing a strong wind.
06:53 Ilagang is experiencing a strong wind of 15 kilometers per hour.
06:56 And we can see on our latest track of the storm Haikoui, also known as the Hana storm,
07:02 it will enter the Philippine airport's responsibility tomorrow, Wednesday morning or around the afternoon.
07:09 It will continue.
07:11 It is not expected to hit the ground but it will continue to be strong.
07:14 It is also possible that it will bring heavy rain until the weekend in a large part of Luzon.
07:20 And it is also possible that it will leave the Philippine airport's responsibility on Friday.
07:26 Again, the chance of it landfalling is still small in any part of our country.
07:31 And as of now, we can see that the direct effect of the incoming storm Haikoui, also known as the Hana storm, will not be seen.
