Northeast monsoon winds (amihan) caused authorities to raise a gale warning over the waters of Pangasinan on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, forcing fishermen to stay ashore as rough seas and scattered rains continued to affect several northern provinces.

The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office said all 14 coastal cities and towns were advised to closely monitor sea conditions and remind local fishermen not to venture out.

“Sinasabihan natin sila, ‘yung 14 na cities and municipalities, na mag-monitor at i-remind ang kanilang mga mangingisda na huwag munang pumalaot,” Avenix Arenas, assistant DRRM officer of Pangasinan, said.

Some fishermen said the waters have become too dangerous to navigate.

“Kahapon lumabas ako, malakas ‘yung agos. Basang-basa ako, hindi na ako tumuloy kasi mahirap na,” Armando Ibasan, a fisherman, said.

PAGASA warned that a shear line will continue to bring cloudy skies and intermittent rainfall over Pangasinan and nearby areas.

“Dahil doon sa tinatawag natin na shear line… ayan ‘yung mga pulo-pulong ulap na nagkakaroon naman ng kalat-kalat na ulat na nagdudulot din ng kalat-kalat na pag-ulan,” Engr. Jose Estrada Jr., chief meteorological officer of PAGASA-Dagupan, said.

In Ilagan City, Isabela, authorities closed the Abuan Bridge after river waters rose to bridge level due to persistent rains. Videos shared online showed floodwaters sweeping across the structure.

Meanwhile, a rockslide occurred in Pinukpuk, Kalinga, where clearing operations are ongoing. Large vehicles have been barred from passing through the affected road section.

In Mountain Province, DPWH personnel deployed heavy equipment to clear landslides along the Mountain Province–Cagayan via Tabuk–Enrile Road. Continued rainfall has made the area risky, prompting authorities to advise motorists to use alternate routes.

Weather and disaster officials across Northern Luzon continue to monitor conditions as rains from the shear line and cold winds from the amihan persist.
