VIRAC, Catanduanes – The town of Virac in Catanduanes province was placed under “state of imminent danger” Friday after tropical storm “Nina” (international name: Nock-ten) entered Philippine Area of Responsibility.

Virac Mayor Sammy Laynes authorized municipal officials to make cash advances for the purchase of goods to beef up stockpile of food packs from 1,000 to at least 2,000.

The province still has available 4,500 food packs for distribution in case the storm hits, according to provincial administrator Lemuel Surtida.
