In Cagayan, more than 500 families or nearly 2,000 individuals fled their homes as "Maring" made landfall on Fuga Island Monday night.

Overnight, provincial authorities joined the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), the police and the Marines in getting residents of Buguey and Santa Teresita to safety.

In La Union, disaster management crews were deployed in the towns of Bacnotan, Bangar, Luna, San Juan, and San Gabriel following severe flooding due to Maring.

Malacañang said local rescue personnel and teams have been deployed with support from the military, police, the PCG, and the Bureau of Fire Protection.

"We ask the public to continue to take precautionary measures, observe minimum public health standards, and cooperate with their respective local authorities in case of an evacuation," Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said.

"Maring" is forecast to move westward over the West Philippine Sea until it leaves the country's area of responsibility on Tuesday morning, PAGASA said in its latest weather bulletin.
