MANILA, Philippines — The southwest monsoon or habagat continues to bring rains over a huge part of Luzon, especially on its western and northern portions, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Thursday afternoon.

According to Pagasa’s satellite images, thick clouds still move over the Palawan area, up to the Mindoro provinces, over Central Luzon and Metro Manila, and the rest of northern Luzon.
