00:00At the moment, Baguiong Pipito is in the Caragatan Pumuli, here in the Caragatan Hilaga of Camarines
00:07Provinces.
00:08And it was last seen 85 kilometers northeast of Daet, Camarines Norte.
00:14This is because of the strong wind, which is 185 kilometers per hour near the center, and
00:20a gust of wind that reaches 255 kilometers per hour.
00:24So the wind that was blown by Baguiong Pipito is still strong.
00:28The wind that was blown by Baguiong Pipito is still strong from last night to this day
00:35here in the Bicol Region and some areas of the Summer Provinces.
00:40And we expect that today, generally, we will feel the peak of strong winds and also of
00:46rain and the high risk of storm surge that was blown by Baguiong Pipito as it gets closer
00:52to the area of the mainland Luzon.
00:55From morning to night, we will already feel the strong winds, the rain and the risk of
01:02storm surge here in the larger area of Southern Luzon, here in Metro Manila, in Central Luzon
01:09and a large part of Northern Luzon.
01:12So be careful for our countrymen.
01:15Be alert.
01:16And also, let us also urge our LGUs for the appropriate actions that we need to do for
01:24our safety.
01:27And again, yesterday or last night at 9.40, Baguio Pipito's center or Matani landfall
01:35happened here in the vicinity of Panganiban, Catanduanes, where we will repeat again that
01:43not only in the time of landfall or in the area of the landfall point, Baguio Pipito
01:49will have an effect.
01:51Of course, we can see here in our radar image that our consideration of landfall is the
01:57time where Baguio Pipito's center or Matani landfall happened here in the mainland.
02:03And we can also see here in our radar image that even before Baguio Pipito's center
02:09or Matani landfall happened, the rain bands where the strong winds are present and also
02:15the heavy rainfall is the first to hit or touch the Bicol region.
02:21So again, even before the landfall, generally, a storm is the first to affect the land,
02:28the rain bands where the strong winds are present and also the heavy rainfall caused by the storm.
02:37And according to our latest forecast track analysis of Baguio Pipito, this morning,
02:42it will continue to move here in the coastal waters in the north of the Camarines provinces
02:48and we will not rule out another landfall or its approach here in the area of Calaguas Islands.
02:57And by this late morning or later in the morning or afternoon,
03:02this will approach the area of Polilio Islands before it lands either here in the northern
03:10Quezon or in the central or southern portion of Aurora, later in the afternoon or afternoon.
03:18And we will also highlight again, we can see here in our forecast track,
03:24where this is the symbol of the super typhoon, this is the center of Baguio Pipito.
03:30And we can see this area under this red circle,
03:34this is where the strongest winds of Baguio Pipito landed.
03:39Where we can see that even though the center of Baguio Pipito is already in the ocean,
03:44but the strongest winds that landed here, we can see, is the area of Bicol Region.
03:51And also, we can also see these areas under this yellow circle,
03:56this is where the strongest winds of Baguio Pipito landed.
04:01Where the area of the strongest winds that landed here is also a large area,
04:06even though it is still in the ocean.
04:09So we can see, by this afternoon or evening or later in the afternoon or evening,
04:14Baguio Pipito will continue to hit the mainland Luzon.
04:20Where again, when Baguio Pipito approaches the area of Polilio Islands,
04:26this morning, it will be hit by the strongest winds,
04:31the larger area of Southern Luzon, the area of Metro Manila,
04:35and also the Central Luzon and the larger part of Northern Luzon.
04:40So, continue to be careful for our fellowmen.
04:43Meanwhile, we can see, later in the evening or early morning,
04:49Baguio Pipito will emerge from the ocean, from the canlura of Pangasinan or La Union,
04:57and we can see that it will emerge from our area of responsibility by tomorrow morning or afternoon.
05:04So again, this morning until evening, we can feel the peak of strong winds,
05:10and also the rains and the high risk of storm surge that Baguio Pipito landed,
05:15here in the large area of Southern Luzon, here in Metro Manila, Central Luzon,
05:20and also the large area of Northern Luzon.
05:25And at the moment, our wind signal number 5 is high in the eastern portion of Polilio Islands,
05:31and also in the area of Calaguas Islands.
05:34Meanwhile, wind signal number 4 is in the northeastern portion of Camarines Sur,
05:39rest of Camarines Norte, northern and western portions of Catanduanes,
05:44northern portion of mainland Quezon, rest of Polilio Islands, central and southern portions of Aurora,
05:50eastern portion of Nueva Ecija, southeastern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, southern portion of Quirino,
05:57and wind signal number 3 is in the rest of Camarines Sur, rest of Catanduanes,
06:03northeastern portion of Albay, eastern portion of Quezon, eastern portion of Laguna,
06:09eastern and central portions of Rizal, rest of Aurora, eastern and central portions of Bulacan,
06:15northeastern portion of Pampanga, rest of Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, northern portion of Zambales,
06:22the rest of Nueva Vizcaya, rest of Quirino, the southern portion of Isabela,
06:28central and southern portions of Ilocos Sur, even in La Union, Pangasinan, Benguet, Ifugao,
06:36western portion of Mounting Province, and the southern portion of Abra.
06:41Meanwhile, wind signal number 2 is in Sorsogon, rest of Albay, Ticaw Island, Burrias Island,
06:49northern portion of Marinduque, rest of Quezon, rest of Laguna, the rest of Rizal, Cavite,
06:56northern portion of Batangas, here in Metro Manila, in Bataan, rest of Pampanga, rest of Bulacan,
07:03rest of Zambales, the southwestern portion of Cagayan, rest of Isabela, rest of Abra,
07:09southern portion of Apayau, Calinga, the rest of Mounting Province, rest of Ilocos Sur,
07:15the southern portion of Ilocos Norte.
07:18Meanwhile, wind signal number 1 is in the rest of Masbate, rest of Marinduque, northern portion of Romblon,
07:24northern and central portions of Oriental Mindoro, even in northern and central portions of Occidental Mindoro,
07:31including Lubang Islands, and also in the rest of Batangas, rest of mainland Cagayan, rest of Apayau,
07:37rest of Ilocos Norte, northern summer, the northern portion of summer, and in the northern portion of eastern summer.
07:45Where the areas that we mentioned are the areas that can experience strong winds,
07:53and the winds that come from Baguio-Pepito are strong.
07:59And we expect that as Baguio-Pepito gets closer to the mainland Luzon,
08:06it's possible that the wind signals will be higher in some areas that are near the center of this.
08:14And also, we will notice that we have many areas under wind signals.
08:19Some areas here, mostly this morning, have not yet experienced strong winds coming from Baguio-Pepito,
08:27but they already have wind signals.
08:29This is because our wind signals have a lead time,
08:34where that lead time is to prepare our countrymen.
08:40So as Baguio-Pepito gets closer, our chances to prepare also decrease.
08:47Also, if these areas, the large areas of northern Luzon and central Luzon,
08:53our chances, or our time frame to prepare also decreases.
08:59So we can also advise our LGUs on the appropriate actions that we need to do for our safety.
09:08And also, we expect that the winds of Baguio-Pepito will be moderate,
09:13where it's possible that a post, electricity, or a tree will fall and damage the electricity lines.
09:20The roofs of houses made of light materials, it's possible that it will be damaged.
09:26So as Baguio-Pepito gets closer, especially to a large part of mainland Luzon,
09:32we are not removing the possibility that we will lose our supply of electricity and water.
09:38So again, we need to prepare for our countrymen,
09:42we need to be alert, and it's important that we advise our LGUs
09:47on the actions that we need to do for our safety.
09:52And we expect that within this day, this morning until tonight,
09:57we will be able to feel the strong winds of Baguio-Pepito.
10:03Meanwhile, today in terms of rainfall,
10:06we have intense torrential rains in Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, and Camarines Sur.
10:16Meanwhile, it's heavy to intense in Isabela, Ifugao, Benguet, La Union, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan in Rizal, and in Catanduanes.
10:28Meanwhile, in Cagayan, it's moderate to heavy,
10:32even in Calinga, Abra, Ilocosur, La Union, Mountain Province, Zambales, Tarlac, Tampanga, Bataan, Metro Manila, Laguna, Albay, and in the area of Sor Sugon.
10:44Where a large part of mainland Luzon will experience strong and almost continuous rains,
10:51especially in our areas where we have intense to torrential rains today.
10:58Meanwhile, tomorrow, where Baguio-Pepito is located in the West Philippines,
11:04it will still experience moderate to heavy rains in the areas of Ilocosur, La Union, Pangasinan, and Zambales.
11:13Where in the areas that we mentioned, the chances of flooding and landslides will be high,
11:22especially in the areas near rivers, streams, and mountainous areas.
11:28So be careful, and also be alert for our fellowmen.
11:35Meanwhile, since Baguio-Pepito is strongly affected, we also have a high risk of storm surge.
11:42Here in the area of Ilocos region, coastal localities of Central Luzon, Isabela, coastal localities of Bicol region,
11:52Marinduque, areas of Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and Samar.
11:58Where we have a high risk of storm surge.
12:02That is why our fellowmen who live near coastal localities,
12:09our fellowmen who live in coastal areas,
12:13we should be alert to our LGUs for possible floods.
12:18And also, we can also see here that we have coastal inundation.
12:23Our coastal inundation is the possible rise of floods caused by storm surge.
12:30For example, floods in Calupaan, where we have a possible rise of up to 4 meters of floods here in the area of Catanduanes.
12:41In Camarines Sur, a large part of the coastal localities of Camarines Sur,
12:46and also in a large part of Camarines Norte, in Quezon, and also in some coastal localities of Aurora.
12:55For more information about our coastal inundation,
13:00there are more areas that can experience a possible rise of floods from 2 to 4 meters.
13:09For the complete information, just visit our website and also our social media accounts for the complete information about this.
13:21At the moment, we also have a rising gale warning in the area of Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte,
13:30in Quezon, along with the Polilio Islands, in Northern Samar, Aurora, Isabela, Eastern Coast of Cagayan,
13:36Albay, Sorsogon, Marinduque, Northern Masbate, along with Tikau and Buryas Islands,
13:41in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Metro Manila, Cavite, and Batangas,
13:48where it is dangerous and we are still not allowing it to spread,
13:52especially our fishermen and those who have small fishing boats.
13:59And also in the areas where we had a storm surge and coastal inundation,
14:06any marine or water activity is also dangerous.
14:10So let's avoid it for now.
14:14It is also better to avoid the coastal areas that we mentioned earlier.
14:24And again, we will not just repeat all the areas that we mentioned earlier,
14:31that we have wind signals, heavy rainfall, and risk of storm surge.
14:36All of these, from this morning until later tonight,
14:40you will experience the peak of storm surge.
14:45So in the areas that we mentioned earlier, not just the areas of landfall point,
14:51all of those areas will be experienced.
14:54So be prepared for our countrymen, be alert.
14:58And again, we will inform our LGUs for the appropriate actions
15:03that we need to take for our safety.
