The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warned of possible landslides and flash floods, as typhoon “Rosita” (international name “Yutu”) intensified and continues to threaten Northern and Central Luzon.

PAGASA weather specialist Meno Mendoza said Rosita has entered the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) was about 875 kilometers east of Aparri, Cagayan, as of noon yesterday.

Mendoza said it remains to be a strong cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 200 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 240 kph.

Rosita packs about the same strength as typhoon “Ompong” (Mangkhut), which reached 205 kph and gustiness of 255 kph when it hit Cagayan province last month.

It also moves continues to move west at 20 kph, threatening the same areas slammed by Ompong, leaving dozens dead, particularly in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) which was hit by landslides.

Mendoza advised the public, particularly those in Northern and Central Luzon, to be alert against possible landslides or flash floods triggered by typhoon Rosita.

It is still seen to make landfall over Cagayan or Isabela by tomorrow morning.

The massive typhoon with 800-kilometer diameter could affect most of Northern and Central Luzon, including Metro Manila beginning Monday evening, Mendoza said.

“Flooding and landslides are possible, while travel by land and sea is risky,” PAGASA said.
