Pagasa: ‘Habagat’ to trigger flashfloods, landslides in N. Luzon

The weather bureau on Tuesday warned of possible flashfloods and landslides in Pangasinan, La Union, Zambales and Bataan due to monsoon rains.

The southwest monsoon or habagat is prevailing in Luzon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.

Northern Luzon is still reeling from the damage wrought by Typhoon “Ineng” (international name: Goni), which left the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Sunday.
