The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Center (NDRRMC) said more than 136,000 people have been affected by Agaton's onslaught.

Agaton is expected to remain a tropical depression as it moves slowly over the vicinity of northeastern portion of Leyte and the southern portions of Samar and Eastern Samar, before emerging over the Philippine Sea by Tuesday evening, PAGASA said.

It is expected to weaken as it interacts and assimilates with a stronger cyclone with international name of “Malakas,” eventually becoming a low pressure area on Wednesday.

PAGASA urged residents and local governments units in flood and landslide prone areas to take necessary precautions.
