Typhoon ‘Hagibis’ gains strength, to enter PAR on Friday 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Ellalyn De Vera-RuizAn extremely strong typhoon “Hagibis” (international name) has further strengthened as it churns over the Pacific Ocean outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR). Should it maintain its 30 kph west-northwest movement, PAGASA weather specialist Meno Mendoza said Hagibis will likely enter the tip of the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Friday. Once inside the PAR, PAGASA will be giving Hagibis the local name “Perla,” this year’s 16th cyclone and first this month. Mendoza said fair weather condition will persist apart from some severe thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.
