The highest level of danger has been declared for the southeastern part of Luzon, including the provinces of Catanduanes and the coastal areas of Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur.
The consequences of the approaching стихії are already felt throughout the country. The civil aviation regulator announced the cancellation of more than 300 domestic and international flights.
On social networks, particularly on the X platform, local residents are sharing videos showing the deteriorating weather conditions: strong winds tearing branches from trees, and large waves that are already beginning to flood the coast.
