MANILA, Philippines – Typhoon Tisoy (Kammuri) is now moving toward the area of Batangas and the northern part of Oriental Mindoro, after making its 3rd landfall in Marinduque at 8:30 am on Tuesday, December 3.

In a briefing past 11 am on Tuesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Tisoy is already 55 kilometers east of Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.

It is now moving west at a slightly faster 25 kilometers per hour (km/h) from the previous 20 km/h.
