The state weather bureau advised residents in the said areas to take precautionary measures, coordinate with local risk disaster risk reduction and management offices, and continue monitoring weather updates.

Pagasa also said that sea travel is risky, especially for small vessels, over the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon, including areas under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1, due to potentially rough sea conditions. /gsg
