The eastern seaboards of Albay, Sorsogon and Eastern Samar will face waves of up to 7 meters, and some other parts of Bicol and Polillo Islands may see waves as high as 5.5 meters.
PAGASA urged all mariners, especially small boats, to avoid sea travel during the hazardous conditions.
Track, intensity outlookPepito is expected to continue moving west-northwestward, with a potential landfall near Catanduanes later Saturday or early Sunday morning. However, there is still uncertainty in its path, with possible landfall scenarios in the eastern coasts of Camarines Sur, Albay, or even Quezon and Aurora.
The super typhoon is anticipated to pass over Bicol, Quezon, Aurora, Nueva Ecija and Pangasinan before exiting the Philippine area of responsibility by Monday morning.
While Pepito is predicted to weaken as it moves inland, it is still expected to maintain typhoon strength until it reaches the West Philippine Sea.
PAGASA said Pepito could experience an eyewall replacement cyclebet168, which may temporarily change its intensity, but it will still remain a powerful super typhoon or typhoon as it moves through the country.
