At 10 a.m., the center of the tropical storm was estimated at 20 km east of Torrijos, Marinduque. At the time, it had maximum sustained winds of 105 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 135 kph. Metro Manila remains under Public Storm Warning Signal No. 2.
Deputy Presidiential Spokespeprson Abigail Valte described the field reports that the Palace has been receiving as encouraging.
"So far, the reports that we have been getting are quite encouraging kahit po nagkaroon ng damage to property dahil doon sa malalakas na hangin. Ang magandang balita naman po diyan ay, for the most part, marami pong mga kababayan natin ang sumunod sa panuntunan na lumikas at mukha naman pong marami tayong nailayo sa aberya," she said.
She said the number of casualties has yet to be confirmed with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). (PCOO News Release)
