Hoisting TCWS No. 4 possible

Moreover, TCWS No. 1 is still hoisted in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, the rest of mainland Cagayan, the rest of Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Apayao, Kalinga, Abra, Mountain Province, Ifugao, the eastern portion of Benguet, the eastern portion of Ilocos Norte, the northeastern portion of Nueva Ecija, the northern and central portions of Aurora, Polillo Islands, and Calaguas Islands.
