It also noted that Neneng disrupted power supply in 28 cities and municipalities, but only six have so far been restored.

Neneng left the Philippine area of responsibility on Sunday night, but its trough or extension continues to bring rains over Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
