MANILA (UPDATE)—Typhoon Tisoy slightly weakened early Tuesday after hitting land over Sorsogon province but it was still "powerful," state weather agency PAGASA said.

The eye of the typhoon was last seen in the coastal waters of San Francisco, Quezon as of 7 a.m., the agency said.

It was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour (kph), with gusts of up to 235 kph.

"Hindi po puwedeng maging kampante ang ating mga kababayan dahil malakas pa rin at mapaminsala si bagyong Tisoy. Konti lang 'yong ibinawas ng strength niya but still it is a powerful typhoon," said PAGASA weather specialist Loriedin Dela Cruz.

PAGASA said Tisoy's eyewall, considered the most damaging part of the typhoon, was bringing violent winds and intense rains over Southern Quezon, Marinduque, and Romblon.

The eyewall was forecast to affect Cavite, Batangas and the northern portion of Mindoro provinces in the next 3 hours.

Frequent to continuous heavy to intense rains will lash Bicol region, Romblon, Marinduque, Mindoro provinces, Calabarzon, Metro Manila, Bataan, Pampanga and Bulacan between Tuesday morning and late afternoon.

The rest of Central Luzon will experience occasional to frequent heavy rains while Samar provinces, Biliran, Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo, Guimaras and the northern portions of Negros provinces and Cebu will get intermittent heavy rains, PAGASA said.

Between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, frequent to continuous heavy rains will lash Mindoro provinces, Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Rizal and northern Quezon, including Polillo Islands.

Occasional heavy rains will be experienced over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Marinduque, Romblon and the rest of Calabarzon while Bicol Region and Calamian Islands will have intermittent heavy rains.
