Signal No. 1 up in Metro Manila, nearby areas

MANILA (2nd UPDATE)—Tropical Storm Dante made a second landfall over Masbate early Wednesday, the state weather bureau said.

PAGASA said the center of Dante made landfall in the vicinity of Cataingan town in Masbate.

The storm made its first landfall over Eastern Visayas Tuesday night.

In its 5 a.m. weather bulletin, PAGASA said the center of Dante was last spotted over the western coastal waters of Balud town, Masbate, packing maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (kph) with gusts of up to 90 kph.

The country's 4th storm this year, which has so far killed 3 people and left 1 missing after lashing Mindanao, has accelerated further and is now moving west northwestward at 25 kph from 20 kph.

PAGASA said Dante will continue to move generally west northwestward in the next 12 hours before turning north northwestward towards the southern part of Quezon-Batangas area, where it will make another landfall between Wednesday afternoon to evening.

It will then remain a tropical storm until it makes landfall before weakening into a tropical depression.

"Posible po itong magkaroon ng pangatlong landfall dyan sa may bahagi ng Romblon ngayong hapon," PAGASA weather forecaster Ana Clauren told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo.

(It can make a third landfall in a portion of Romblon later afternoon.)

"Kung magwestward pa po ang kaniyang pagkilos, possible rin po nitong daanan ang bahagi ng Oriental Mindoro pagkatapos dumaan sa bahagi ng Romblon."

(If the storm continues westward, it's possible it would traverse parts of Oriental Mindoro after Romblon.)
