MANILA, Philippines – Rain will persist in parts of Luzon on Thursday, January 18, due to the easterlies or winds coming from the east.

In a bulletin issued 4 pm on Wednesday, January 17, state weather bureau PAGASA said there will be light to heavy rain in Metro Manila, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera, Ilocos, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Bicol, and Mimaropa.

Those areas should watch out for possible flash floods and landslides.
