00:00At the moment, in the vicinity of the house of Claveria in Cagayan is Mata.

00:04This is Typhoon Marse. It was here at 10 o'clock last night.

00:07And it still has a strong wind of 175 kilometers per hour.

00:10It's still close to its center.

00:12So, it's almost a super typhoon category for now.

00:15And there's a downpour of up to 290 kilometers per hour.

00:19It's still moving westward or to the left at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

00:24So, it's moving fast.

00:26Based on our latest satellite animation,

00:28it's still bringing harsh weather, strong rain and wind to a large part of Northern Luzon.

00:34And the large part of Central Luzon is also affected by the cold weather.

00:38In the rest of the country, we only have a few raindrops.

00:42Or when it rains and snows, it usually only lasts for 2 hours.

00:46We are also continuously monitoring the accumulation of clouds or cloud clusters

00:50outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the north of Luzon.

00:55Based on our analysis, there's still a low chance that this will be a typhoon.

00:58In the next 24 hours, it will slowly approach our land.

01:03We can see that it might enter a part, a low-pressure area within 2 days.

01:08And it will affect, it will bring rain early next week in our country.

01:12That's why we will continue to monitor it.

01:16Based on the latest forecast,

01:18within the next 24 hours, the typhoon will still move westward or to the left.

01:23We're talking of the center of Typhoon Marse.

01:26As of 3.40 p.m., it had a landfall for the first time in Santa Ana, Cagayan.

01:31And it had a second landfall after crossing Babuyan Channel

01:35here in the town of San Chasmira in western Cagayan at 9 p.m.

01:40Again, this is for reference.

01:42But the total area of the typhoon is around 900 to 1,000 kilometers.

01:47That's why it's still strongly affected by the wind.

01:49Not only the areas that we mentioned,

01:51but also a large part of Northern Luzon and even parts of Central Luzon.

01:56This large part of Northern Luzon,

01:58we expect that there will be heavy rains and strong winds.

02:03And then, tomorrow morning,

02:05the center of Typhoon Marse will eventually be in the west of the Philippines.

02:10And it will come out of our Philippine area of responsibility

02:13on Friday afternoon or night.

02:16It will still remain as a typhoon category

02:18after Typhoon Marse crosses our land.

02:21And then, eventually, tomorrow morning,

02:23where the cold and dry northeast wind flow will enter,

02:27the typhoon will gradually weaken

02:29and it may become a severe tropical storm

02:31on Saturday or Sunday.

02:35As of now, the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 is still high in many places,

02:39including the northern portion of Cagayan,

02:42including the part of Babuyan Islands,

02:44Signal No. 4 is also in the northern portion of Apayau,

02:47northernmost portion of Abra,

02:49particularly in the town of Tinig,

02:51in the large part of Ilocos Norte,

02:53Signal No. 4,

02:54and in the town of Sinait,

02:56in the northernmost portion of Ilocos Sur.

02:59Signal No. 3 is in the southern portion of Batanes,

03:02in the part of mainland Cagayan and Babuyan Islands,

03:05in the part of Apayau,

03:07northern portion of Calinga,

03:09as well as the northern portion of Abra

03:11and northern portion of Ilocos Sur.

03:15We also have the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2

03:17in the remaining part of Batanes,

03:19as well as the northern and central portions of Isabela,

03:22rest of Abra, rest of Calinga,

03:25and the entire mountain province,

03:26Signal No. 2,

03:27as well as the northern portion of Ifugao,

03:29northern portion of Benguet,

03:31and the rest of Ilocos Sur

03:33and northern portion of Ilocos,

03:35or northern portion of La Union, rather,

03:37is Signal No. 2.

03:39If we have Signal No. 4,

03:40we can expect up to 175 km of wind

03:44in the next few hours.

03:46These orange colors are Signal No. 3,

03:48up to 120 km per hour.

03:51And if we have Signal No. 2,

03:53up to 85 km per hour.

03:55So try to imagine,

03:56when the vehicle is fast,

03:57around 80 km per hour.

03:59So the wind speed of a strong typhoon like Typhoon Mars

04:03will be faster.

04:06We also have Tropical Cyclone Wind,

04:08Signal No. 1,

04:09up to 55 km per hour.

04:11Here in the blue color,

04:12the remaining part of La Union,

04:13as well as a large part of Pangasinan,

04:15Signal No. 1,

04:16rest of Ifugao, rest of Benguet,

04:19rest of Isabela,

04:20as well as Querino, Nueva Vizcaya,

04:23northern and central portions of Aurora,

04:25northern portion of Nueva Iziha,

04:27and here in the cities of Candelaria and Santa Cruz,

04:30along with Northern Zambales.

04:32If we have Tropical Cyclone Wind signals,

04:35automatically suspended sea travel

04:37for all types of sea vessels.

04:39We also expect the strongest wind

04:41here in the areas of extreme northern Luzon.

04:43Possibly, trees and plants will still be damaged.

04:46And the weak structures,

04:47just like what happened to the trees and palm trees,

04:49can also be damaged.

04:51Roofs or so-called corrugated roofs can be opened,

04:54and power poles and lines can also be removed.

04:59For other places,

05:01by tomorrow, or for the next two days,

05:03where there will be no more wind signals,

05:05we still expect, by Friday,

05:07in Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Ilocos Region,

05:10strong winds due to the outer part of the Tropical Cyclone Marse.

05:14And by Saturday,

05:15while the part of the Tropical Cyclone Marse

05:17is already out in the West Philippine Sea,

05:19there will still be strong winds in Batanes

05:21and the Babuyan group of islands.

05:24When it comes to rainfall,

05:25within the next 24 hours,

05:26rainfall will be crucial.

05:28We still expect more than 200 mm of rainfall

05:32here in Ilocos Norte, Apayau, and Cagayan,

05:35where the center of the Tropical Cyclone Marse will pass,

05:39also known as IWOL.

05:41We also have heavy to intense rains,

05:43or 100 to 200 mm of rainfall,

05:45within the next 24 hours,

05:47in Abra and Ilocos Sur.

05:49And we also have moderate to heavy rains,

05:51or up to 100 mm,

05:53here in Parting, La Union, Calinga,

05:56Mountain Province, Benguet, Ifugao,

05:59up to Isabela and the province of Batanes.

06:02These are the areas where heavy rainfall warnings

06:05are still possible in the next hours,

06:07and the chances of flooding are high,

06:09especially in low-lying areas,

06:11and the chances of landslides are high,

06:13especially in mountainous areas.

06:15So please refer to the leftmost or rightmost side

06:19the potential impacts of each level of our rainfall.

06:24For those who live in high-lying areas,

06:26in remote areas of the ocean,

06:28we have gale warnings in large towns

06:30in the northern and portions of Central Luzon.

06:334 to 12 meters in the ocean,

06:36or in almost 4 levels of high-lying houses,

06:40here in the towns of Batanes, Cagayan,

06:43Cabilang, Baboyan Islands, Ilocos Norte,

06:46and towns of Ilocos Sur,

06:48while 3 to 5 meters,

06:50or almost 2 levels of high-lying houses,

06:52here in the towns of Isabela, La Union, Pangasinan,

06:56and the northern part of Zambales.

06:58If we have gale warnings,

07:00it is possible to reduce the amount of gale warnings

07:02in small sea vessels,

07:03but if we have wind signals,

07:05sea travel is already suspended

07:07for all types of sea vessels.

07:09And for our coastal areas,

07:13there is a chance of storm surge,

07:15especially the areas that are

07:18the center and eyewall of the storm surge.

07:21There are more than 3 meters of possible gale warnings

07:24in the northern coast of Cagayan,

07:25Cabilang, Baboyan Islands,

07:27in the towns of Ilocos Norte,

07:29especially in the areas near Pagudpud

07:31and Sabtang in Batanes.

07:33We have 2.1 to 3 meters of possible gale warnings

07:37in the eastern coast of Cagayan,

07:39Ilocos Sur,

07:40and here in the northern coast of La Union.

07:43While there are up to 2 meters

07:45in the towns of Isabela,

07:47by tomorrow, it is possible to reduce

07:49the amount of gale warnings in those areas.
