Signal No. 1 in Batanes as Bising intensifies, may re-enter PAR
In its 11 p.m. tropical cyclone bulletin, the state weather forecaster said that Batanes remains under Signal No. 1 due to Bising, while most of the Philippines is expected to experience rains also due to the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.
As of 10 p.m., the center of the eye of Bising was estimated to 335 km northwest of Itbayat, Batanes outside PAR. It is moving northeast at 20 km/h with maximum sustained winds of 150 kn/h near the center, gustiness of up to 185 km/h, and central pressure of 965 hPa.
The Habagat and the periphery of Bising are also forecast to bring strong to gale-force gusts to the Ilocos Region, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Quezon, Occidental Mindoro, Masbate, and Romblon on Monday, "especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds," said PAGASA.
Some areas have already suspended Monday classes in anticipation of the weather.
As it continues northeast, Bising could re-enter the northwestern boundary of PAR Sunday night or early Monday morning, PAGASA added.
It is then seen to cross the Taiwan landmass and its center will leave the northern boundary of PAR Monday morning, and eventually be 720 kilometers north northwest of Itbayat, Batanes or in the vicinity of Fujian, China on Wednesday morning.
In its separate rainfall advisory, PAGASA said light to moderate rains are expected over Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, and Tarlac, which will affect Zambales and Bataan.

Warehouses still full of rice buffer stocks —NFA
The National Food Authority (NFA) on Saturday said that warehouses across the country remain full of rice buffer stocks, despite the series of storms that hit the country last week. "Hindi pa din substantially nabababawasn ang ating stock sa mga bodega," said NFA Administrator Larry Lacson in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB. (Our stock in the warehouses has not been substantially reduced.) "Even dumating ang mga bagyo lahat yan ay pinaghahandaan natin. Meron man na-damage dalawa lang. Sa Alaminos, Pangasinan at isa naman sa La Union," added Lacson. (Even when the typhoons hit, we were prepared for them. There were only two that were damaged: one in Alaminos, Pangasinan, and one in La Union.) Lacson also said that the NFA has enough stocks to last for 12 days. That amounts to 452,000 of palay or around 9 million sacks of rice. "Sa kadahilanan na ang pumpasok na mga palay na binibili natin sa magsasaka ay mas madami kesa dun sa mga lumalabas na bigas natin," said Lacson. (That's because the amount of rice we buy from farmers is more than the amount of rice we export.) Meanwhile, the NFA administrator also bared plans of putting up Kadiwa stores in every NFA warehouse soon. Lacson said that this will also benefit farmers, as they could now go to more places to sell their palay. "Sa mga warehouse mismo ni NFA maglalagay ang DA ng kadiwa ng Panagulo. Umpisa po sa Region 1 and Region 3, they slowly, rollout po sa other regions," explained Lacson. (The DA will place Kadiwa stores in NFA warehouses. It will first open in Region 1 and Reg 3.) A total of 7,685,943 people or 2,121,645 families have been affected by Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat in all regions except Eastern Visayas. The region with the most number of affected individuals was Central Luzon with 2,820,250. The extent of damage from Tropical Cyclones Crising, Dante, Emong, and the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat was reported at P10,080,789,951 for infrastructure, P1,961,211,507 for agriculture, P281,660,000 for irrigation systems. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
