THE state weather bureau has warned of “life-threatening conditions” in Homonhon and Dinagat Islands as Typhoon Tino passes near these areas.

As of 10 p.m. Monday, November 3, 2025, the center of Tino was spotted over the coastal waters of Loreto, Dinagat Islands, with maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour (km/h), gusts of up to 205 km/h, and central pressure of 960 hPa.

It was moving westward at 30 km/h, said the Philippines Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

The weather bureau said Tino is expected to make landfall over Leyte or Southern Leyte by midnight or early morning Tuesday, November 4, 2025, before crossing Visayas and northern Palawan from Tuesday until early morning Wednesday, November 5.

“This weather disturbance will likely emerge over the West Philippine Sea by Wednesday morning and is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Wednesday evening or Thursday (6 November) morning,” Pagasa said in its 11 p.m. Tuesday advisory.

Tino was also forecast to make its initial landfall at or near peak intensity (currently forecasted around 150-155 km/h maximum winds with higher gustiness).

Slight intensification before landfall remains likely, added Pagasa.

“While the interaction of the typhoon with the terrain may trigger a slight weakening, Tino is expected to remain at typhoon category throughout its passage over the country,” it said.
