Per update from the Provincial Disaster Management Program Division, other areas under Yellow warning includes Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Cebu (Southern Cebu), Siquijor and Negros Oriental.

Zephard Caelian, head of the PDMPD warned that flooding is possible in low-lying areas and landslides in mountainous areas.

This information is based on current radar trends and all available meteorological data, Caelian said.

The public and the disaster risk reduction and management council concerned are advised to take appropriate actions, monitor the weather condition and watch for the next advisory.

THREAT. According to a Capitol consultant, the Cebu City Government is threatening to shut down the Cebu North Bus Terminal at the back of SM City Cebu (left) and the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. for operating without a business permit. The Province, which runs both terminals, maintains that it operates the facilities as a public service for passengers going to the province and vice versa. /
