Hanoi (VNA) – The Philippines evacuated nearly
1,800 people and suspended sea travel as tropical storm Molave was expected to
bring widespread rains over two regions on the southern part of the main island
of Luzon on October 25.
The national weather bureau said tropical cyclone wind alerts were issued for several provinces in the Bicol and Calabarzon regions.
Sea travel operations were cancelled in the Calabarzon region, with 662 people reportedly stranded at ports due to strong winds, according to the disaster monitoring agency.
In the Bicol provinces, a total of 532 families, or 1,789 people, were preemptively evacuated to temporary shelters, it said.

After crossing the Philippine archipelago, Molave is expected to continue intensifying over the East Sea, possibly reaching typhoon category by October 27 evening./.
