Furthermore, the Southwest Monsoon enhanced by CARINA will bring moderate to intense rainfall over various localities in the western portion of Luzon tonight through Thursday. For more information, refer to Weather Advisory No. 26 issued at 11:00 PM today.

Severe Winds

Minimal to minor impacts due to strong winds may be experienced within any of the localities where Wind Signal No. 1 is hoisted.

The Southwest Monsoon enhanced by CARINA will also bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):

• Tonight to tomorrow: Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Zambales, Bataan, Aurora, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and Davao Region
• Wednesday: Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Northern Mindanao
• Thursday: Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Negros Occidental, and Northern Samar.

HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

In the next 24 hours, CARINA and the enhanced Southwest Monsoon will bring moderate to rough seas over the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon (2.0 to 4.0 m) and western seaboards of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Western Visayas (1.5 to 3.0 m). Mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels.

Moderate seas are also expected over the eastern seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao (1.5 to 2.0 m). Mariners of motorbancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating under these conditions.

TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK

• Over the Philippine Sea, CARINA is forecast to move generally north northwestward or northward from tonight until tomorrow (23 July) while gradually accelerating before turning northwestward for the remainder of the forecast period. On the track forecast, CARINA will remain far from the Philippine landmass. It is also forecast to make landfall over the northern portion of Taiwan between Wednesday (24 July) evening or Thursday (25 July) morning, then exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) hours later. Outside the PAR, CARINA will cross the Taiwan Strait and make landfall over southeastern China on Thursday afternoon or evening.
• CARINA is forecast to steadily intensify and may reach its peak intensity within the next two days due to favorable environment. Rapid intensification within the forecast period remains likely. Its landfall over northern Taiwan and subsequently over southeastern China will trigger a weakening trend.

Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.

• Wednesday: Monsoon rains likely over the western portions of MIMAROPA and Western Visayas; possible over the western portions of Central Luzon and CALABARZON and the rest of MIMAROPA and Western Visayas.

Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are likely, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps and in localities that experienced considerable amounts of rainfall for the past several days.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
Severe Winds

• Wind Signal No. 1 is now hoisted for some localities along the eastern portion of Southern Luzon due to the expansion of the wind extent of the typhoon.
• Minimal to minor impacts caused by strong winds (i.e., strong breeze to near gale strength) are possible within any of the areas where Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No.1 is currently in effect.
• Wind Signal No. 2 remains the most likely highest wind signal that will be hoisted, while Wind Signal No. 3 remains the reasonable worst-case scenario.
• Typhoon BETTY is starting to enhance the Southwest Monsoon. Occasional gusts are possible in the next 24 hours over localities in the eastern portion of Central Luzon, eastern and southern portions of Southern Luzon that are not under any Wind Signal, and most of Visayas. Such conditions are more likely in coastal and exposed upland/mountainous areas. The western portion of Luzon may experience similar conditions beginning on Tuesday or Wednesday.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
Under the influence of BETTY, a marine gale warning remains in effect over the northern and eastern seaboards of Northern Luzon, eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, and the eastern seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #3 issued at 5:00 PM today.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• On the track forecast, BETTY will move generally northwestward slowly tonight through tomorrow and may become slow-moving or almost stationary by Tuesday or Wednesday while over the waters east of Batanes. Afterwards, the typhoon will turn north northeastward and gradually accelerate towards the waters east of Taiwan and the southern portion of Ryukyu Islands. BETTY may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Friday evening.
• This typhoon is forecast to steadily weaken over the next five days due to cooler ocean waters (caused by upwelling of cooler waters in its wake) and dry air intrusion. BETTY may be downgraded into a severe tropical storm on Thursday.

Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.

The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 5:00 AM tomorrow.

| TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVISORY NO. 5
Super Typhoon “MAWAR”
Issued at 11:00 AM, 26 May 2023

Valid for broadcast until the next advisory at 11:00 AM tomorrow
“MAWAR” SLIGHTLY INTENSIFIES WHILE MOVING WESTWARD OVER THE PHILIPPINE SEA
Location of Center (10:00 AM)

The center of the eye of Super Typhoon “MAWAR” was estimated based on all available data at 1,705 km East of Southeastern Luzon (15.1°N, 138.8°E)
Intensity

Maximum sustained winds of 215 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 260 km/h, and central pressure of 905 hPa
Present Movement
West at 20 km/h
Extent of Tropical Cyclone Winds
Strong to typhoon-force winds extend outwards up to 550 km from the center

GENERAL OUTLOOK FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD
• Super Typhoon MAWAR is forecast to track generally west northwestward until Sunday while accelerating before turning northwestward on Sunday. On the track forecast, the super typhoon will enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tonight or tomorrow early morning. MAWAR will begin to decelerate on Sunday as it begins to move closer towards the waters east of Extreme Northern Luzon. The center of MAWAR’s eye is forecast to be within 250 km of the Batanes-Babuyan archipelago by next week during the slowdown period.

• MAWAR is forecast to reach its peak intensity within 24 hours. The super typhoon may slightly weaken by tomorrow evening but is expected to remain as a super typhoon until Monday morning due to highly favorable environment. MAWAR will then weaken at a slightly faster rate by late Monday or Tuesday as unfavorable conditions (e.g., increasing wind shear, cooler sea surface temperature resulting from its slowdown by that time, dry air intrusion) take place.

• Current forecast scenario shows that the typhoon may bring heavy rains (which may trigger flooding or rain-induced landslides) over Northern Luzon beginning late Sunday or on Monday next week. In addition, strong to storm-force conditions may be experienced over Extreme Northern Luzon, while strong to gale-force conditions are possible over the northern and eastern portions of Northern Luzon mainland. As a result, wind signals will be raised by tomorrow evening in preparation for these severe winds.

• MAWAR is also forecast to enhance the Southwest Monsoon which may bring monsoon rains over the western portions of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas beginning on Sunday or Monday.

Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to continue monitoring for updates related to this tropical cyclone.
Unless an intermediate advisory or initial tropical cyclone bulletin is released, the next tropical cyclone advisory will be issued at 11:00 PM today.

ABISO SA PUBLIKO

Paglilinaw mula sa Pamahalaang Panlungsod ng Tuguegarao na hindi pa ipapatupad ang “City Ordinance No. 08-09-2023 o ang AN ORDINANCE REGULATING THE OPERATION OF PRIVATE VEHICLES IN THE CITY OF TUGUEGARAO ON A THREE - MONTH EXPERIMENTAL PERIOD STARTING MARCH 1, 2023 TO MAY 31, 2023", dahil ito ay hindi pa inaprubahan ni City Mayor Maila Ting Que.

Bagamat naipasa na sa Ninth City Council ang naturang ordinansa, at naipadala na sa opisina ng Punong Ehekutibo, nilinaw ni Mayor Maila na hindi niya pa napipirmahan ang naturang ordinansa at dadaan muna ito sa masusing “REVIEW” ng city legal team.

Kaugnay nito, hindi din naglabas ng FULL TEXT publication ang Tuguegarao City Information Office (TCIO) ng naturang ordinansa, sapagkat wala pang opisyal na natatanggap na kopya ng aprubadong ordinansa mula sa Tanggapan ng Alkalde.

IWASAN natin ang pagpapakalat ng maling impormasyon, tiyaking naka-follow lang sa opisyal na page ng Tuguegarao City Information Office. Maraming salamat.
