The storm, last tracked over the coastal waters of Vinzons in Camarines Norte, continues to batter Luzon with strong to gale-force winds. Many areas across the region are experiencing significant weather disruptions, with flights being just one aspect of the wider impact on daily life.
In addition to the winds, the weather bureau has forecasted that the enhanced southwest monsoon will bring widespread rains to parts of Luzon and the Visayas, further complicating travel plans and daily routines for many.
As the situation develops, passengers are advised to stay updated on flight schedules and heed safety advisories from local authorities.
