According to PAGASA’s 5:00 PM bulletin today, November 15, Typhoon "Pepito" (international name: Man-Yi) continues to intensify as it moves closer to the Philippines.

The center of the eye of Typhoon Pepito was located 465 kilometers east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar (11.1°N, 130.0°E). The typhoon has maximum sustained winds of 150 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 185 km/h. It is moving west-northwest at 30 km/h and is forecast to intensify further as it approaches the eastern seaboard.

The Samar provinces and nearby areas in Eastern Visayas are expected to experience the initial effects of Typhoon Pepito beginning Friday evening, November 15.

PAGASA has raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2 over Northern Samar and parts of Eastern Samar and Samar, signaling possible gale-force winds within 24 hours. Signal No. 1 is in effect for the rest of Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, and Biliran, where strong winds may be felt in the next 36 hours.

The typhoon is expected to bring moderate to heavy rains across Eastern Visayas, particularly in flood-prone and low-lying areas of Samar and Eastern Samar.

Residents are urged to prepare for potential flooding, landslides, and storm surges that may reach up to 3 meters along coastal areas. Hazardous sea conditions will prevail, with wave heights of up to 8 meters expected along the eastern seaboard.

Communities in vulnerable areas are advised to remain alert and adhere to preemptive evacuation advisories from local authorities. The public is encouraged to stay updated through PAGASA’s official weather bulletins. The next advisory will be issued at 11:00 PM tonight. | via iTacloban-PH
