‘Pepeng’ gains strength; 3 Bicol areas under storm signal 1

GMANews.TV - Thursday, October 1.Three Bicol provinces were placed under Storm Signal No. 1 as typhoon "Pepeng" (Parma) gained more strength and continued to move towards Northern Luzon Thursday.

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Pepeng may make landfall on Saturday.

Under Storm Signal No. 1 are the provinces of Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and Catanduanes.

Pagasa forecaster Mario Palafox also said Pepeng is developing into a super typhoon.

"Malapit sa 180 kph ang minimum na lakas ng hangin ng isang super typhoon. Ang Pepeng ay nasa 150 kph na. So, 30 kph na lang, pwede na i-consider na super typhoon (Its winds are now 150 kph, near 180 kph, which is the minimum wind speed for it to be considered a super typhoon)," Palafox said in an interview on dzBB radio early Thursday.

But he indicated the typhoon is not likely to bring much monsoon rains.

Palafox also said a tropical depression (international codename "Melor"), which is following Pepeng, is still out side Philippine territory, and that it is unlikely to interact and enhance the former.

"Itong tropical depression na papasok sa boundary ng Philippine area of responsibility, pero 'di makaapekto sa atin (The tropical depression after Pepeng may enter the boundary of the Philippine area of responsibility but is unlikely affect RP directly)," he added.

In its 5 a.m. advisory, Pagasa said that as of 4 a.m., Pepeng was 650 km east of Borongan town in Eastern Samar.

Pepeng packed maximum sustained winds of 150 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 185 kph, and was moving west-northwest at 24 kph.

By Friday morning it is expected to be 310 km east of Virac in Catanduanes. By Saturday morning it is expected to be 190 km north of Virac or 310 km southeast of Tuguegarao City.

On Sunday morning it is expected to be 50 km west of Tuguegarao City.

Pagasa advised residents in low-lying areas and near mountain slopes to take precautions against possible flash floods and landslides.

"The eastern section of the country will experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming widespread rains over Bicol region which may trigger flash floods and landslides. The rest of Visayas and Mindanao will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. The rest of Luzon will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms," it said in its 5 a.m. bulletin.

It added moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast to northwest will prevail over Eastern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and coming from the southwest and south over the rest of the country.

Coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be moderate to rough.

Meanwhile, Pagasa said strong winds are likely to affect the eastern seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao. -

MANILA, Philippines – Typhoon Parma weakened slightly and veered course overnight, easing the threat to Manila and surrounding areas still reeling from a deadly storm, Philippines weather officials Saturday.

"The threat of typhoon Pepeng to us [in the disaster zone] has eased," weather bureau spokesman Nathaniel Cruz said in a radio interview, referring to Parma's local name.

"That is good news."

Weather officials said Parma, billed as a supertyphoon, altered course toward the northernmost tip of the Philippines' Luzon Island.

It was now expected to land Saturday evening on the province of Cagayan, north of its earlier predicted landfall in Aurora province and about 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the nation's capital.

The Philippines had been bracing for Parma, which churned toward the country just a week after tropical storm Ketsana (Philippine codename: Ondoy) triggered the worst flooding in 40 years in and around Manila, leaving 293 people dead.

Of the more than three million people affected, over 400,000 remain in evacuation centers, most of them with poor sanitation facilities.

Parma was packing wind gusts of up to 210 kilometers per hour (130 kph), easing from 230 kilometers per hour on Friday, the weather bureau said.

Cruz said storm signals placed over the disaster zone in and around Manila had been removed, although slight rains were still falling.

"There will still be rains but they will not be comparable to the rains dumped by Ketsana," he said.

On Friday, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo placed the Philippines under a "state of calamity" to expedite relief efforts.

Lieutenant Colonel Ernesto Torres, spokesman for the National Disaster Coordinating Council, said that with the threat from Parma downgraded, "we can now focus on relief efforts" for the Ketsana victims.

Nibalik Jud si Pepeng:

MANILA - Weather bureau PAGASA on Wednesday lowered the storm warning signal over several areas in northern Luzon after tropical storm Pepeng (international codename Parma) weakened while crossing Ilocos Norte.

PAGASA said Pepeng was over Sicapao town, Apayao province or 60 kilometers east southwest of Laoag City, Ilocos Norte as of 4 a.m., with weaker center winds of 85 kilometers per hour and gust of up to 100 kph.

The storm returned and made landfall over Ilocos Norte after two days of hovering over South China Sea.

PAGASA said Pepeng was pulled back by Typhoon Quedan (international codename Melor), which has already left Philippine territory and headed towards southern Japan.

The storm warning level over Ilocos Norte has been lowered to Signal No. 2. Other areas under the same storm warning signal were Batanes Group of Island, Cagayan, Babuyan island, Calayan Island, Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Ilocos Sur and Mountain Province.

Signal No. 1 remains hoisted over La Union, Benguet, Ifugao, Isabela, Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino.

The weather bureau warned residents in areas with storm warning signals against flashfloods and landslides.        The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC), meanwhile, said Pepeng's second landfall did not cause any "significant emergency incident" in Ilocos Norte provinces.

It said the towns of Pagudpud, Burgos, Bacarra and Pasuquin, which were affected by the second landfall, have prepared well for the second landfall.

"The said municipalities were reported to have implemented preemptive evacuation in high risk barangays," the NDCC said.

Pepeng has killed 16 people in northern Luzon provinces and displaced a total of 44,872 people.
