MANILA — Typhoon Tisoy (international name Kammuri) weakened further as it moves towards the West Philippine Sea, state weather bureau PAGASA said Tuesday night.

The powerful typhoon, which made its fourth landfall over Naujan town, Oriental Mindoro at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, is now packing maximum sustained winds of up to 120 kilometers per hour (kph), with gusts of up to 150 kph.

It previously hit land in San Pascual town on Burias island in Marinduque early Tuesday, and in Torrijos town in the same province at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Tisoy first made landfall over Gubat town, Sorsogon late Monday.

The country's 20th storm this year is moving west at 25 kilometers per hour (kph), PAGASA said in its 11 p.m. weather bulletin.

Tisoy was last spotted 180 kilometers west of Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.

It is expected to pass south of Metro Manila, home to some 13 million people and hosting thousands of athletes competing at the 30th Southeast Asian Games, and reach 465 kms west of Subic, Zambales Wednesday night to leave the Philippine area of responsibility as a severe tropical storm.

Tisoy is expected to leave the Philippine area of responsibility between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, PAGASA weather forecaster Aldczar Aurelio said.

Light to moderate with occasional heavy rains are expected over Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Aurora and Quezon on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, light to moderate rains, with intermittent heavy rainshowers during thunderstorms are expected over Metro Manila and the rest of Central Luzon and CALABARZON.

Sea travel remains risky, especially for small seacrafts, over the seabords of areas under tropical cyclone wind signals, the seaboards of Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, and Visayas, and the eastern and western seaboards of Southern Luzon due to rough sea conditions.
