MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) hoisted a gale warning over the northern and western seaboards of northern Luzon.
The warning, issued at 5 p.m. on Monday, covered Batanes, the northern coast of mainland Cagayan (Santa Ana), the Babuyan Islands, the northern coast of Ilocos Norte (Burgos, Bangui, and Pagudpud), and the western coast of Ilocos Norte (Pasuquin, Bacarra, Laoag City, Paoay, Currimao, Pinili, and Badoc).
Pagasa Weather Specialist Charmagne Varilla said in a briefing that "we are advising all seagoing vessels to postpone sailing here if possible because wave heights are dangerous."
Meanwhile, Varilla cautioned those who will go out today to the remaining seaboards of northern Luzon as well as to the eastern seaboards of central and southern Luzon against slight to moderate seas.
