MANILA — State weather bureau PAGASA placed more areas under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2 as typhoon Egay (international name: Doksuri) intensified Monday.

Egay was last spotted 500 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora, packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour near the center and 190 kph gusts, PAGASA said in its 5 p.m. bulletin.

It is moving north northwestward at 10 kph.

PAGASA said it is not ruling out the typhoon's possible landfall over the northeastern portion of mainland Cagayan.

"It must be emphasized that further shift in the track forecast closer to Luzon remains a possibility due to the persistence of the ridge of high pressure north of the typhoon. This is represented by the forecast confidence cone. As such, a landfall over the northeastern portion of mainland Cagayan is not ruled out," it said.

Signal No. 2, where 62 to 88 kph winds could damage dilapidated schoolhouses and makeshift shanties, was hoisted over the following areas:

  • Catanduanes
