Emong weakens; Batanes under Signal No. 1
The province of Batanes remains the only area under Signal No. 1. as of July 25, 11 p.m. (Photo from PAGASA-DOST) Tropical Storm Emong slightly weakens as it continues to move away from the country, according to PAGASA's 11 p.m. tropical cyclone bulletin. The province of Batanes remains the only area under Signal No. 1. The center of EMONG was estimated 260 kilometers East Northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, moving Northeastward at 35 kilometers per hour. It has maximum sustained winds of 75 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 90 kph. Emong is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility Saturday morning. PAGASA said the enhanced Southwest Monsoon will bring strong to gale-force gusts over several areas over the weekend in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Rizal, Quezon, Cavite, Batangas, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Palawan, Romblon, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Northern Samar, and Negros Occidental. "Emong will continue to weaken throughout the forecast period due to increasing unfavorable environment. It will likely degenerate into a remnant low tomorrow evening or Sunday (27 July) morning while entering the East China Sea.

The famous strawberry farm in La Trinidad, Benguet has been completely covered by floodwaters due to the effects of Tropical Storm Emong. According to the report of EJ Gomez on "24 Oras" Friday, the farm looked like a lake due to the floodwater in the areas caused by heavy rains. 'Biglang umapaw yung tubig. Wala na, nasira na. Yung pananim namin... kawawa kami. Mangutang ulit, palit ng pananim,' said farmer Segundo Balanoy. (The water suddenly rose. That was it, the farm is ruined. Our harvest... we're unfortunate. We'll take out another loan and replace our crops.) The flood subsided at around 10 a.m. on Friday. Several areas of Benguet had been previously placed under Signals No. 2 and 3 because of the active weather systems.
