Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has ordered a full alert for disaster response agencies as Super Typhoon Ragasa looms over the north, threatening areas throughout East and Southeast Asia. The typhoon, with winds of 215 kph and gusts reaching 295 kph, is raising significant concerns.
As Ragasa slightly intensifies near Babuyan Island, the state weather agency warns of storm surges over three metres high. Residents in high-risk areas are urged to stay away from the coastlines and riverbanks as precautionary measures.
