Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 is hoisted over the Polillo Group of Islands as of Sunday morning.

“All vessels are reminded to take precautionary measures and be extra vigilant in monitoring the movement of typhoon if deemed to be affected by said weather disturbance,” PCG’s Notice to Mariners read.
