00:00Yes, good morning to all of us. I am Benison Estareja and we have an update regarding the typhoon that is being monitored inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
00:09This is a tropical depression with a local name, Aghon.

00:26The wind is still blowing at 45 kilometers per hour.
00:29It is close to its center and has an opening up to 55 kilometers per hour.
00:34And it moves fast, west-northwest, at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
00:41Based on our latest satellite animation, these white and gray clouds,
00:47these are the ones that bring the rain, here in a large part of Bicol, Visayas, and almost the entire Mindanao, the outer cloud bands.
