The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Obet showed no signs of weakening in its Monday evening weather briefing. The tropical cyclone's current position and projected track indicate it will continue moving away from the Philippine archipelago.

According to Pagasa's monitoring, Obet was last recorded at a considerable distance from the country's landmass, placing Philippine territory outside the immediate threat zone. The agency continues to track the storm's movements and intensity levels.

The weather bureau regularly updates its assessments of tropical cyclones in the western Pacific region to keep the public informed of potential weather threats. Residents in northern Luzon and other parts of the country are advised to remain alert for any changes in the storm's trajectory.
