Tropical depression “Urduja†on Tuesday evening continues to move eastward slowly but the government weather bureau warned that another typhoon is entering the country.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Mactan chief Oscar Tabada said that aside from Urduja, which will continue to hit the Camotes group of islands Wednesday, a second typhoon, Vinta, is also moving towards the Philippines.
As of 11 p.m. Tuesday, forecasters spotted the eye of Typhoon Urduja at 75 kilometers northeast of Surigao City, packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center.
Public storm warning signal number 1 was already raised in provinces of Leyte, Southern Leyte, Biliran, Eastern Samar, and Western Samar in the Visayas, as well as Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Agusal del Norte, Dinagat Island, and Siargao Island in Mindanao.
Pagasa said the typhoon will be experienced in Visayas and Mindanao until Friday.
A total of 1,000 passengers were stranded on Tuesday in Sorsogon and Cebu due to the tropical depression, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. - Sun Star
