00:00It's a beautiful day for all of them.
00:02For their information, every 6 hours, we release an update,
00:06what we call the Tropical Cyclone Bulletin.
00:09Not only the Tropical Storm Christine,
00:12or Trami is the international name.
00:15And this is what we include in our latest weather bulletin.
00:18So we can see in the satellite image animation
00:21that the center of the storm, Christine, is still offshore.
00:24It's still in the ocean.
00:25But let's also notice the widespread flooding,
00:28especially here in the West Semicircle,
00:31which we call the storm,
00:32it's really hitting some parts of our country,
00:35particularly in the provinces,
00:37in the eastern section of Luzon, Visayas
00:39and some parts of the northeastern part of Mindanao.
00:42Earlier at 4 o'clock,
00:43the center of the storm, Christine,
00:46is estimated to be 390 kilometers away
00:49from the coast of Marines Norte.
00:52Tropical Storm category,
00:53strong winds reach up to 75 kilometers per hour
00:56near its center,
00:57and the wind gusts reach up to 90 kilometers per hour.
01:01So now it's moving in the direction of west-north-westward
01:04at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.
01:07And even though it's still far from its center,
01:09we already have a high tropical cyclone wind signal
01:12in some parts of our country.
01:15So now, wind signal number 2 is high
01:17here in the areas highlighted in yellow,
01:20in the province of Catanduanes,
01:22in the eastern portion of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur,
01:25in the eastern portion of Albay in Sorsogon,
01:28in the northeastern portion of Northern Samar,
01:30and here in the northern portion of Eastern Samar.
01:37So these areas will experience severe weather,
01:40especially up to extreme sea level.
01:42When we say severe weather,
01:44it means rain that can cause floods,
01:46especially in low-lying areas,
01:49landslides in areas near the foot of mountains,
01:52especially if it's been raining for several days
01:54in the areas we mentioned.
01:56At the same time,
01:57the parts of the ocean will be flooded.
02:00In addition to strong winds
02:01that can cause various types of plants to fall,
02:05some structures will be damaged,
02:07especially houses that are made of light materials,
02:11houses and buildings may be damaged
02:16because of the strong winds caused by Hurricane Christine.

05:26But as I mentioned,
05:28while the storm approaches,
05:30it will escalate
05:32to Looban,
05:34the areas that will experience
05:36heavy rains.
05:38That's why we still remind you
05:40that heavy rains
05:42can occur in low-lying areas.
05:44It can occur in areas
05:46near rivers,
05:48especially if the water levels
05:50in the middle of the river are high.
05:52It can also cause landslides
05:54in areas near the foot of the mountain.
05:56We urge our countrymen
05:58to be alert.
06:00We urge them to consult
06:02their local government and local DRO
06:04officials for disaster preparedness
06:06and mitigation measures.
06:08Meanwhile, let's talk about the strong winds.

06:40strong winds.
06:42The areas that we mentioned today
06:44include Mimaropa, Visayas,
06:46and Mindanao.
06:48These are the areas outside the warning signals
06:50that we are talking about.

07:12can cause landslides,
07:14some types of landslides,
07:16and in areas with warning signals,
07:18it can cause landslides
07:20and power outages.
07:22Our countrymen should be careful
07:24to stay inside their homes
07:26while experiencing the winds,
07:28or even before experiencing the winds,
07:30while experiencing the winds,
07:32and if the effects of the storm will just pass through their area.
07:34In terms of movement,
07:36let's talk about what we expect
07:38in the next 2 to 5 days.
07:40So, 24-hour forecast,
07:42or the position of the storm
07:44that will occur,
07:46Christine, tomorrow afternoon.
07:48This is our position at 2 p.m.
07:50and tomorrow afternoon,
07:52we expect the storm to pass
07:54around 180 kilometers
07:56east of Casiguran, Ororang, Tinati,
07:58the center of the storm, Christine.
08:00Meanwhile, on Thursday afternoon,
08:02we expect
08:04the storm to pass
08:06the northern Luzon area
08:08and it will be almost at the coastal waters
08:10of Bolinao, Pangasinan.
08:12On Friday afternoon,
08:14it will be almost
08:16at the northwestern boundary
08:18of our area of responsibility.
08:20And on Saturday afternoon,
08:22it is possible that the storm will pass
08:24our Philippine area
08:26of responsibility.
08:28Now, let's look at
08:30the area of probability
08:32that we call.
08:34So, the center of the storm,
08:36Christine, can move
08:38along the center track,
08:40or we're not ruling out the possibility
08:42that the actual movement
08:44can be in the north,
08:46or in the south.
08:48So, the provinces of Cagayan,
08:50Isabela, Aurora, and Quezon
08:52should be prepared for a possible
08:54landfall scenario.
08:56And the entire Luzon, actually,
08:58should be prepared for the possible
09:00effect of this storm, Christine.
09:02Now, in terms of
09:04coastal water condition,
09:06because we're hoping
09:08that this storm, Christine,
09:10will possibly reach the tropical storm
09:12or if we're looking at
09:14the severe tropical storm category,
09:18the coastal waters of this Bicol region,
09:20some parts of Quezon,
09:22Aurora, Isabela,
09:24and Cagayan,
09:26along with some parts of Babuyan
09:28group of islands,
09:30are possible to experience
09:32minimal to moderate risk
09:34of storm surge in the next
09:3648 hours.
09:38These are the places we've highlighted.
09:40Now, this can be high
09:42until the storm
09:44passes our country.
09:46So, this is our storm surge
09:48warning,
09:50along with our tropical cyclone
09:52bulletin.
09:54Now, in terms
09:56of sea condition,
09:58for now,
10:00there's no sign of a severe storm
10:02in the northern part of Luzon.
10:04We can see that it's almost in the northern
10:06and eastern seaboard
10:08of Luzon and Visayas
10:10is our gale warning.
10:12If we have a gale warning,
10:14it can reach more than 63 km per hour
10:16the strength of the wind
10:18and our sea condition will be
10:20very high.
10:22From 2.8 to 4.5 meters
10:24will be high
10:26here in the seaboard highlighted
10:28in red. As much as possible,
10:30don't go here, whatever
10:32type of sea vehicles.
10:34We will continue to give updates
10:36regarding the tropical storm
10:38Christine.
10:40Our weather advisory regarding
10:42the expected rainfall
10:44conditions in some parts of our country
10:46and our storm surge warning.
