Moderate to strong winds coming from the southwest will prevail over these areas and the coastal waters will be moderate to rough,” the bulletin read.“Manila has 31 esteros: 11 in Districts 1 and 2, 9 in Districts 3 and 4, and 11 in Districts 5 and 6. The Manila City government advises citizens living near main drainage systems to keep safe,” the tweet read.
