Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Pilandok is now being monitored outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), along with Tropical Storm Saudel, formerly Obet.
PAGASA placed the following areas in Benguet under the Yellow Rainfall Warning:
PAGASA said flooding and landslides in flood-prone and landslide-prone areas may still prevail in these locations.
Light to moderate, and at times heavy rains, are currently being experienced over Bokod, Buguias, Itogon and Kabayan in Benguet.
Similar conditions are also being experienced over La Union, Ilocos Norte and portions of Ilocos Sur, Abra, Nueva Vizcaya and Aurora.
These conditions may persist within the next two to three hours and may affect nearby areas.

The next Heavy Rainfall Warning is expected at 8:00 PM today.
In a separate update as of 2:00 PM today, PAGASA said Tropical Storm Pilandok and Tropical Storm Saudel, formerly Obet, are being monitored outside PAR.
Pilandok had been forecast to leave PAR as it moved away from the Philippine landmass.
PAGASA is also monitoring Low Pressure Area 09a outside PAR.
As of the 2:00 PM update, the LPA has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
