MANILA – Super Typhoon Rolly (international name: Goni) made second landfall over Tiwi, Albay, according to the 8 a.m. weather bulletin of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Sunday.
The PAGASA earlier reported that “Rolly” has made first landfall in Bato, Catanduanes around 4:50 a.m. Sunday.
Based on its latest weather bulletin, the weather bureau said catastrophic violent winds and intense to torrential rainfall is expected within the next 12 hours over Catanduanes, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, the northern portion of Sorsogon, Burias Island, Marinduque, the central and southern portions of Quezon, Laguna, and the eastern portion of Batangas.
"The center of this typhoon will cross the Camarines provinces before heading towards Marinduque-southern Quezon area this afternoon,” PAGASA said.
“Rolly” is forecast to exit the mainland Luzon landmass and emerge over the West Philippine Sea between Sunday night and Monday early morning,” it added.
During its traverse of Southern Luzon, PAGASA said “Rolly” is forecast to weaken but will emerge as a typhoon over the West Philippine Sea.
Heavy to intense with at times torrential rains is expected over Bicol Region, Calabarzon, Metro Manila, Marinduque, Romblon, Mindoro Provinces, Bataan, Bulacan, Aurora, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Samar, Biliran, and the eastern portions of mainland Cagayan and Isabela.

Light to moderate with at times heavy rains will be experienced over Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and the rest of Luzon and Visayas.
The weather bureau warned the public against flash floods, rain-induced landslides, and sediment-laden streamflows (i.e. lahar) may occur during heavy or prolonged rainfall especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards.
PAGASA said very destructive to devastating typhoon-force winds will be experienced in areas under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) Nos. 4 and 5, destructive typhoon-force winds in areas under TCWS No. 3, damaging gale- to storm-force winds in areas under TCWS No. 2, and strong breeze to near gale conditions in areas under TCWS No. 1.
