Typhoon #UwanPH (international name Fung-Wong) has rapidly strengthened over the Philippine Sea and is now moving closer to Eastern Visayas and Bicol, according to PAGASA’s 11 a.m. bulletin on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
At 10 a.m., Uwan was located 680 kilometers east of Borongan City, Eastern Samar, packing maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour and gusts reaching 170 km/h.
It was moving westward at 35 km/h. PAGASA said Uwan could still intensify into a super typhoon by evening on Saturday or Sunday as it moves toward Luzon.
PAGASA said Uwan will likely move west-northwestward, possibly passing close to Catanduanes by Sunday morning before making landfall over southern Isabela or northern Aurora late Sunday or early Monday.
There is still a chance the storm could shift slightly southward and directly hit Catanduanes.
After crossing Northern Luzon, Uwan is expected to move out toward the Lingayen Gulf or the West Philippine Sea by Monday afternoon.
