Citing a 5 a.m. forecast by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), the PCG advisory said a strong gale with wind force associated with the northeast monsoon was affecting the northern and eastern coast of Polilio Island, the northern coast of Panukulan, Burdeos, the eastern coast of Patnanungan and Jomalig, all island municipalities in the northern part of Quezon facing the Pacific Ocean.
