Cebu Pacific cancels several flights due to Super Typhoon Pepito

Cebu Pacific on Saturday announced it has canceled over 20 flights on Sunday as precautionary measure due to super typhoon Pepito.

The local carrier said Pepito might cause disruptions in their flight operations as the super typhoon is bringing heavy rains and strong winds over many parts of Luzon. 

As it is forecast to pass over north and central Luzon, areas like Manila and Clark are expected to experience increased rainfall, gusting winds, and reduced visibility.
