Typhoon Threatens Philippines: GMA News Reports on Low-Pressure Area and Potential Habagat Intensification The Philippines is bracing for potential severe weather as a low-pressure area (LPA) located outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) shows signs of intensifying. According to a report by GMA Integrated News, the LPA, which was first monitored at 2:00 PM on June 10th, poses a significant threat due to its proximity to the country and the potential for increased Habagat monsoon effects. "Mga Kapuso, posibleng lumakas pa ang bagyong nasa labas ng Philippine Area of Responsibility," stated Amor Larrosa, GMA Weather Presenter, in the report. "Kaya maaaring palakasin ang epekto ng Habagat." The report details the LPA's location approximately 610 kilometers west of Iba, Zambales, and warns of potential heavy rainfall, particularly in Luzon and Metro Manila. The PAGASA weather bureau is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to provide updates. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions and prepare for potential flooding and landslides. The GMA report serves as a crucial source of information for Filipinos to stay informed and prepared for the upcoming weather event.
