Typhoon Goring may reach the super typhoon category on Sunday as it intensifies further while moving over the coastal waters of Cagayan, PAGASA said late Saturday evening.

As of 10 p.m., Goring was located 135 kilometers east southeast of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, with maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 215 km/h, the state weather bureau said in its 11 p.m. bulletin.

''Goring is forecast to reach [the] super typhoon category within the next 12 hours and achieve its peak intensity on Monday or Tuesday. Its landfall over the southern portion of Taiwan will result in significant [weakening], although it is forecast to remain a typhoon by the time it emerges over the Taiwan Strait on Thursday evening or Friday early morning,'' PAGASA said.

Moving southward at 10 km/h, Goring is expected to continue to go closer toward the coast of Isabela, and it will then turn generally southeastward and eastward on Sunday before turning northeastward on Monday.The areas under Signal No. 2 are the following:the extreme northern portion of Aurora the rest of Isabela
