Nov. 8 (UPI) -- The Philippines is under high alert as Typhoon Fung-Wong is forecast to strengthen and make landfall on Luzon as soon as Sunday evening.
The Metro Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council issued its highest alert in anticipation of the storm making landfall and lashing the Philippines with high winds and heavy rainfall from Sunday through Tuesday.
"This is our highest state of readiness," Civil Defense Director George Keyser said during an emergency meeting.
"The volume of rain could be unprecedented, even if the eye makes landfall far north," Keyser said.
