Super Typhoon Pepito, internationally known as Man-Yi, made landfall in the vicinity of Panganiban, Catanduanes, on Saturday night, bringing with it powerful winds and torrential rains that are expected to wreak havoc on the island province.
The state weather bureau announced the landfall around midnight, warning residents and tourists to take necessary precautions and seek shelter immediately.
With sustained winds of up to 205 kilometers per hour, Pepito is considered a highly destructive storm that can cause widespread damage to structures and potential loss of life.
Catanduanes, being a small island province in the eastern part of the Bicol region, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of a strong typhoon like Pepito. The storm surge, in particular, poses a significant threat to coastal communities, as it can bring water levels several meters higher than usual.
The weather bureau has raised a storm signal number 4 over Catanduanes, which means that storm surges and flash flooding are imminent and can cause widespread destruction.
Residents in low-lying areas and near the coast are advised to evacuate to higher ground immediately, while those in areas prone to landslides should also be prepared to move to safer areas.
The government has also deployed emergency responders and equipment to potential affected areas to mitigate the effects of the storm and provide immediate assistance to those in need.
