00:00And it will be rainy in some parts of Luzon today, and regarding that, we have received an update

00:06regarding the weather forecast from Pag-asa.

00:10We have on our phone line Weather Specialist Veronica Torres of Pag-asa.

00:14Good morning to you, Ma'am Veronica. This is Dianne Guerrero.

00:20Ma'am Veronica?

00:23Hello, ma'am.

00:24Alright, good morning to you.

00:26Ma'am, where can we expect to experience rain today?

00:30Today, we expect it will be rainy in Mindanao, Western Visayas, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro.

00:36Because of that, in Habagat or in Southwest Monsoon.

00:40So, in Mindanao, ma'am, will it still be rainy?

00:43Because it has been raining heavily there.

00:46In fact, some people have died.

00:48What can we expect from the people of Mindanao, ma'am?

00:51Yes. Right now, in the Mindanao area, we are still being careful regarding flooding or landslides,

00:58especially when it rains heavily.

01:01Because we also expect that in the next few days,

01:04a large part of Mindanao will still be raining.

01:08Alright. Ma'am, the LPA is being monitored,

01:11that it has become a typhoon, although it is outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

01:16What is the update on this typhoon, ma'am?

01:19This LPA, which has been raining the past few days,

01:23has not yet had a direct effect on our country,

01:26although it is possible that it will enhance our Southwest Monsoon.

01:29What is the direction of this typhoon, ma'am?

01:31Will it enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility?

01:34We have not seen it entering and we have seen it moving away.

01:41How about Habagat in our country, ma'am?

01:45Will it continue to be strong?

01:47We hope that this Southwest Monsoon will continue to have an effect in the next few days,

01:53especially in the southern part of our country.

01:56Lastly, please remind our fellow countrymen, especially in the area of Mindanao, ma'am.

02:03We remind our fellow countrymen in Mindanao to be careful regarding floods and landslides,

02:10and to always update our regional services division in the Mindanao area.

02:17Thank you very much, Weather Specialist Veronica Torres from Pag-asa.
