The weather bureau on Sunday lowered storm signals as Tropical Storm Paeng exited Luzon although it has yet to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that "Paeng" will leave PAR on Monday.
Signal No. 2 remains hoisted in Pangasinan, La Union, the southern portion of Ilocos Sur (City of Candon, Banayoyo, Galimuyod, Sigay, Suyo, Santa Lucia, Santa Cruz, Alilem, Tagudin, Sugpon, Cervantes, Quirino, Gregorio del Pilar, Salcedo, Lidlidda, San Emilio, Santiago, Burgos, Santa Maria, San Esteban), Benguet, Tarlac, Zambales, the western portion of Bataan (Morong, Bagac, Dinalupihanullet and Hermosa), the western portion of Pampanga (Floridablanca, Mabalacat City, Magalang, Angeles City and Porac), and the northwestern portion of Nueva Ecija (Guimba, Cuyapo, Talugtug and Nampicuan).
Signal No. 1 is still up in Metro Manila, Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Apayao, Kalinga, Ifugao, Mountain Province, Abra, Ilocos Norte, the rest of Ilocos Sur, Aurora, the rest of Nueva Ecija, the rest of Pampanga, Bulacan, the rest of Bataan, Laguna, Rizal, Batangas, Cavite, Quezon including Pollilo Islands, Marinduque, the northwestern portion of Romblon (Concepcion, Banton and Corcuera), Occidental Mindoro including Lubang Islands, Oriental Mindoro, Calamian Islands, Camarines Norte, and the northwestern portion of Camarines Sur (Lupi, Ragay, Del Gallego and Sipocot).
"Tropical Storm Paeng has exited the landmass of Luzon and it will track generally westward until this Sunday afternoon before turning north-northwestward," Pagasa said. "Paeng will likely exit PAR Monday morning or afternoon," it added.
In the next 12 hours, moderate to heavy rain may prevail in Zambales, Bataan, Aurora, Pangasinan, Batanes, and the northern portion of Cagayan including Babuyan Islands while light to moderate with at times heavy rain is likely in Metro Manila, Cordillera Administrative Region, CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Camarines Provinces, Western Visayas, the rest of Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon.
Except in areas with significant antecedent rainfall or those still experiencing persistent heavy rainfall, flooding and rain-induced landslides are likely to slowly subside, Pagasa said.
