Tropical depression Gener continued to move over the South China Sea
area west of Luzon Saturday morning, Philippine Atmospheric
Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said
Saturday.
In its 10:45 a.m. (0245 GMT) advisory, Pagasa
said Gener was 660 kilometers west-southwest of Iba, capital of
Zambales, which is 150-kilometers north of Manila.
Gener packed maximum sustained winds of 55
kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and was moving
west-northwest at 17 kph, said Pagasa.
By Sunday morning, Gener will be 890 kilometers
west-northwest of Iba, Zambales, or 920 kilometers west-southwest of
Laoag City in northern Luzon.
Gener would enhance the southwest monsoon and
bring rains over the western section of Southern Luzon and Western
Visayas.
The Philippines is still recovering from the
damage done by Typhoon Fengshen, locally called Frank, which
rampaged through Philippines last month, killing hundreds of people
and causing the capsizing of a passenger ship with more than 800
onboard.
