Rolly makes fourth landfall in Lobo, Batangas

Typhoon Rolly made its fourth landfall in Lobo, Batangas late Sunday afternoon, according to PAGASA.

PAGASA weather forecaster Lorie Dela Cruz said Rolly made its fourth landfall at 5:30 p.m.

“At 5:30 kaninang hapon ay nagkaroon po ito ng fourth landfall, kumbaga pang-apat na beses na lumapat ‘yung sentro niya sa lupa sa Lobo, Batangas,” she said in a radio interview.

Dela Cruz added that Rolly is no longer expected to pass through the north of Metro Manila.

“Ine-expect po natin hindi po ito sa north ng Metro Manila dadaan. Sa south na po ito. South na rin po e-exit at sa ngayon, ang nakikita po natin ang closest approach is tonight na ‘yan around 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at most,” she said.

The weather forecaster also said rains are no longer expected to prevail over Metro Manila.

“Hindi dumadating sa atin ang malalakas na hangin dahil humina na ang bagyo although nasa typhoon category pa rin,” Dela Cruz explained.

PAGASA earlier raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 3 over 13 areas across the country as Rolly made its way to the Batangas-Cavite area. — Julia Mari Ornedo/BM, GMA News
