The state weather bureau said Mawar was last located 2,215 kilometers east of Visayas, packing maximum sustained winds of up to 185 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 230 kph. It is slowly moving northwest and may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility Friday evening or early Saturday morning. Once inside the country’s weather monitoring area, it will be called “Betty,” the agency added.
Jorda also said the weather disturbance will likely maintain its super typhoon category once it enters PAR.

It will also bring rains over the western section of the country, she added.Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian said 690,000 relief goods were already distributed as his department also works on doubling the stockpile of food packs in Ilocos Region and Cagayan Valley, which is currently at 30,000.
