(Eagle News)–The easterlies are affecting the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao.

But the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said  the partly to mostly cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers in Visayas, Palawan and Occidental Mindoro is due to localized thunderstorms.
