00:00Good morning, let's first update on the Tropical Depression Christine that we are monitoring.
00:07This is Christine.
00:09Earlier, at 4 in the afternoon, she was at a distance of 760 kilometers east of Katarman, northern Samar.
00:16She was experiencing strong winds that reached 55 kilometers per hour
00:21and storms that reached 70 kilometers per hour.
00:24She was moving in the direction of Canluran in a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.
00:29So, comparing the wind speed earlier at 11 a.m., this is a bit slower.
00:34We can also see in our satellite image that although Christine is a bit far away,
00:41her circulation is wide.
00:44Although the direct effect here in the eastern part of Southern Luzon and Eastern Visayas,
00:50her travel extension will affect a large part of our country.
00:54That is why it is possible that it will affect a large part of our country.
01:00What are we expecting with regards to Christine's track?
01:04So, in the next 12 hours, it is possible that she will reach the Tropical Storm category.
01:10So, if Christine becomes a Tropical Storm, it is possible that we will see storm surge warnings.
01:16By Wednesday, it is possible that it will become a Severe Tropical Storm
01:21or a Typhoon category by Thursday before it landfalls around the Northern Luzon area.
01:27So, before it landfalls in our country, it is possible that it will slow down.
01:31That is why we will feel the strong rains and strong winds.
01:35That is why we will be with you in the upcoming updates of Pag-asa
01:39as well as the Regional Services Division for the Rainfall Advisory,
01:43Heavy Rainfall Warning, or Thunderstorm Advisory.
01:47Like what we mentioned earlier, it is possible that it will landfall in the Northern Luzon area
01:52by Thursday evening or Friday morning.
01:55We will also see that it will landfall in the area of uncertainty or cone of probability.
02:01Not only in the Northern Luzon area, but also in the other parts of Central Luzon.
02:06That is why we are always on the lookout for changes in the track
02:10because we do not rule out changes in the forecast track.
02:15We also do not rule out rapid intensification.
02:19That is why we will be with you in the upcoming updates of our agency.
02:27We also have a high signal number 1.
02:30This is currently the highest tropical cyclone wind signal
02:33in the southeastern portion of Isabela, Aurora,
02:37northern and eastern portion of Quezon as well as Polilio Island,
02:41Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon,
02:46Masbate as well as Anticao and Buryas Islands.
02:50In Visayas, the highest signal number 1 is in Eastern Samar,
02:54Northern Samar, Samar, Leyte, Biliran and Southern Leyte.
03:00In Mindanao, the signal number 1 is high.
03:02In Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte as well as Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands.
03:08It is possible that the highest tropical cyclone wind signal
03:11for Christine is the signal number 4.
03:15So even if Christine is stronger,
03:19we do not rule out the possibility of a higher tropical cyclone wind signal.
03:26We also expect strong winds today in Batanes,
03:31Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, southern portion of Palawan,
03:34Siquijor, Bohol, Zamboanga Peninsula, northern Mindanao,
03:38Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Agusan del Norte,
03:41Barm, Sarangani, Del Sur, Davao Oriental.
03:46Tomorrow, in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte,
03:49Ilocos Sur, Palawan, Romblon, Aklan, Antique, Negros Island Region,
03:54northern portion of Cebu, Bohol, southern Leyte, Zamboanga del Norte,
03:59northern Mindanao, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Agusan del Norte,
04:05Sarangani, Davao del Sur, and Davao Oriental.
04:08And when Wednesday comes,
04:10strong winds are possible in Mimaropa, Visayas, and Mindanao.
04:16We also issued a weather advisory for this cyclone.
04:23Today, until tomorrow afternoon,
04:26strong rains are possible, heavy to intense,
04:29in Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and northern Samar.
04:33Moderate to heavy in Romblon, Marinduque, Quezon,
04:36southern portion of Bicol Region, and southern portion of eastern Visayas.
04:42Tomorrow afternoon, in Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.
04:50Heavy to intense, 100 to 200 mm of rain,
04:54in northern Bicol Region, northern Samar, Samar, and eastern Samar.
04:59Moderate to heavy rains, 50 to 100 mm,
05:03in Micaguayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region,
05:06in eastern Visayas, Quezon, Romblon, Marinduque, and Aurora.
05:12For strong rains, Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon,
05:17heavy to intense in Micaguayan, Isabela, Apayau, Aurora, and Quezon.
05:22Moderate to heavy in the southern part of Cordillera Administrative Region,
05:26southern part of Cagayan Valley, and Ilocos Region.
05:29Again, we are always up to date with the upcoming updates
05:32of our regional services, division, and heavy rainfall warnings.
05:37We are hoping that in elevated areas or mountainous areas,
05:43it is possible that the rains will be stronger,
05:45but be careful in low-lying areas and flood-prone areas,
05:49in areas prone to flooding or landslides.
05:53We also have elevated gale warnings here in Camarines Norte,
05:58northern and eastern coasts of Camarines Sur,
06:00eastern coasts of Albay, in Catanduanes,
06:03eastern coasts of Sorsogon,
06:05and the northern and eastern coasts of northern Samar.
06:09If possible, our countrymen should not go abroad.
06:12There are small boats or motorbikes in areas prone to flooding
06:18or landslides, because it will be flood-prone.
06:23Here, we are hoping that our country will generally be flood-prone,
06:29but we can expect floods in the northern coasts of the Philippines
06:35and the eastern coasts of the Philippines.
