MANILA - Tropical depression "Crising" has weakened into a low pressure area (LPA) but will continue to dump rains over the Visayas islands on Easter Sunday, state weather bureau PAGASA.

In a 6 a.m. advisory, PAGASA said the LPA will bring moderate to occasionally heavy rains that may trigger floods and landslide in the regions of Eastern and Central Visayas.

Meanwhile, light to moderate rains will prevail over the rest of Visayas, the regions of Bicol, Mimaropa, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga peninsula, and the province of Quezon.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience isolated rains, PAGASA said.

Crising, the third tropical storm to hit the country this year, was downgraded into an LPA after it made landfall in Eastern Visayas on Saturday night.

It was last spotted 85 kilometers southeast of Roxas City, Capiz at 4 a.m. Sunday.

All tropical cyclone warning signals have been lifted, PAGASA meteorologist Gener Quitlong said in a phone interview with radio DZMM.

Hundreds of sea vessels that were stranded in ports due to bad weather may now sail, Quitlong added.
