MANILA, Philippines – Typhoon Nina (Nock-ten) is now heading toward the West Philippine Sea after making 8 landfalls in the country.
The typhoon made landfall in the following areas:

Both Catanduanes and Camarines Sur are under a state of calamity following the onslaught of the typhoon.
In a bulletin issued 2 pm on Monday, state weather bureau PAGASA said Nina is now in the vicinity of Lubang Island. It maintained its speed, moving west northwest at 20 kilometers per hour (km/h).
It also maintained its strength, with maximum winds of up to 130 km/h and gustiness of up to 215 km/h.
Since the typhoon is already about to exit landmass, the weather has also begun to improve in several provinces.
Some parts of Luzon, however, remain under warning signals.
Signal number 3:
- western Batangas
- northern Occidental Mindoro
- Lubang Island
Signal number 2:
- Oriental Mindoro
- rest of Occidental Mindoro
- Cavite
- rest of Batangas
Signal number 1:
- Metro Manila
- Rizal
- Marinduque
- Laguna
- Bataan
- southern Zambales
- southern Quezon
- Calamian Group of Islands
Moderate to heavy rain is still being experienced within Nina’s 400-km diameter, which could bring floods and landslides. Strong winds may damage medium- to high-risk structures, uproot trees, and destroy crops, added PAGASA.
Sea travel, meanwhile, remains risky in the seaboards of Northern Luzon.
Nina is expected to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday, December 28.
