Super Typhoon Uwan Slams the Philippines
Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong), the 21st tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in 2025, is moving rapidly toward Luzon, bringing torrential rains and destructive winds. Due to its massive size, parts of the Visayas and Mindanao are also feeling its impact.
PAGASA Warnings and Forecasts
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has urged the public to stay alert for flash floods, landslides, and dangerous storm surges. Authorities are continuously monitoring Uwan's track, wind signals, and rainfall warnings.
“Residents should remain vigilant and follow official advisories to ensure their safety,” PAGASA stated.
Response and Evacuation Efforts
On Sunday, November 9, 2025, personnel from the Manila City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office carried out evacuations in Isla Puting Bato, Manila, as Uwan battered Luzon. In Pandan, Catanduanes, communities are struggling to recover from widespread devastation.
Other Safety Measures
Clamping of vehicles was suspended in Imus City, Cavite, from November 9 to 10 to allow safer parking and road management as the typhoon traversed Luzon.
