Another  weather disturbance has entered the Philippine area of responsibility Thursday afternoon which is expected to bring more rains in Luzon and Visayas this weekend. Kabayan would not directly hit any part of the country but the weather disturbance is expected to enhance the southwest monsoon which would bring rains in Southern Luzon including Metro Manila and the Visayas this weekend.  The weather disturbance entered Philippine territory a few hours after Tropical Storm “Juaning” exited the Philippine territory traveling towards China.
