Southwest monsoon continues to drench parts of Luzon, Palawan

MANILA – Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan will experience more rains due to the southwest monsoon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Sunday.

Meanwhile, another LPA was estimated at 735 km east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.
