“It weakened to an LPA because of its landfalls and several land interaction,” Singson told Cebu Daily News.
The weather bureau also verified that ‘Auring’ made its landfall four times, not two times as earlier reported. It made landfalls in Siargao Island, Dinagat Island, Southern Leyte and Bohol.
“Earlier we said Auring made a second landfall in Bohol. But when we verified the data, it actually made two landfalls before Bohol. It also made landfall in Dinagat Island and Southern Leyte,” she said.
Singson however said that southern Cebu will still experience light to moderate rains today brought about by the LPA.
