00:16if we call this typhoon Romina.
00:19And at the moment, aside from the effect of this typhoon on Calayaan Islands,
00:23we can also see that there are rains that can be experienced in Palawan province
00:28or in the remaining part of Palawan province

01:09And we also have a shear line, or the boundary of Salubongan,
01:12of gustiness and wind coming from the Pacific Ocean.
01:16And that shear line has a big effect of the rains.
01:19It causes heavy rainfall in a large part of southern Luzon,
01:23especially the eastern section of southern Luzon and eastern section of Visayas.
01:53It is possible that this will intensify or grow stronger by that time
01:57before this continues to move away from our landmass,
02:01or move away from our area of responsibility.
