Tino has maximum winds of 55 km/h and gustiness of up to 90 km/h. (READ: EXPLAINER: How tropical cyclones form)

Light to moderate rain is also expected in Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Bicol, and the Visayas.
PAGASA also warned that sea travel is risky in Palawan, a tourist destination famous for its beaches. Fishermen and those with small vessels should not venture out into sea.
If Tino maintains its speed of 28 km/h, it will leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Saturday morning, November 18.
