Tropical storm “Jolina” (international name: Pakhar) has weakened after making a landfall in Casiguran, Aurora and crossed the rugged terrain of northern Luzon, the state weather bureau said on Saturday.

In its 8:00 a.m. severe weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said moderate and occasional heavy rains due to thunderstorms will continue to prevail over the rest of Luzon as Jolina approached the western coast of Ilocos Norte.
