The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said 26 areas across Luzon and Visayas were placed under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 on Friday, Oct. 17, as Tropical Depression Ramil moved closer to Eastern Luzon.

* Northern portion of Samar (Matuguinao, San Jose de Buan, Calbayog City, Gandara, Santa Margarita, Pagsanghan, San Jorge)
Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are expected in areas under Signal No. 1.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said the highest wind signal expected during Ramil’s passage is Signal No. 2, although PAGASA said it could strengthen into a severe tropical storm before landfall, which may warrant Signal No. 3 for some areas.
As of 10 p.m., the center of Ramil was located 445 kilometers east of Juban, Sorsogon, moving westward at 30 kilometers per hour (kph), with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
PAGASA said the tropical depression is forecast to move generally westward over the next 12 hours before turning west-northwest toward Central and Southern Luzon.
Ramil may make landfall over Catanduanes on Saturday afternoon or evening, Oct. 18, pass close to or over mainland Bicol Region, and potentially make another landfall over Aurora or Quezon on Sunday morning, Oct. 19.
After crossing Northern and Central Luzon, it is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Monday morning, Oct. 20.
