The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued an orange-level rainfall warning Saturday morning for select municipalities across three Central Luzon provinces as the southwest monsoon system strengthens. The alert affects portions of Bataan, Zambales, and Pampanga, with particularly vulnerable areas including Abucay and Hermosa. An orange warning indicates that moderate to heavy rainfall is expected, with potential for flooding and landslides in susceptible locations. Residents and local government units in the affected municipalities have been advised to monitor weather updates closely and implement necessary precautions. Pagasa recommends that people avoid venturing into flood-prone areas and remain alert to changes in weather conditions throughout the day.
