Meanwhile, due to the surge of the northeast monsoon, a gale warning was issued at 5 pm on Sunday for Northern Samar and Eastern Samar.

Seas off those areas are rough to very rough, with wave heights reaching 2.8 meters to 4.5 meters.

PAGASA advised fishermen and others with small vessels not to set sail in areas covered by the gale warning. Larger vessels should watch out for big waves.
