Dear all,
I was planning on flying to manilla next sunday 25th oct.
Should I cancel my flight or is it possible to travel other parts of Filipines and skip Luzon.
My plan was travelling for 3,5 weeks. I'm flexible in my itinerary. And only booked first night accomodation upon arrival in Manila.
Many thanks for your advice.

Yes of course you can travel. Philippines gets about 15 typhoons each year and it doesnt shut down after each one. Its not the last Typhoon you need to think about, its always the next one coming..

I'll be arriving in Manila only 3 days after you. I was pleased to see the weather forecast last week that forecast the imminent typhoon. I knew that whatever happened, it would be over by the time I got there.

the Philippines may get a lot of typhoons, but they don't get one every week.

always keep an eye on the weather forecast in the Philippines, no matter where you are in it. That goes for all times of the year.

Hi callippo,
Yeah it will be gone by the the time we arrive, but i hope it does not leaves us with a lot of rain. As i was planning a relaxing holiday with a lot of beachtime :-)..
Anyway i can always change plans and skip north of luzon.
Have a great time in filipines.

Thankfully now the sky is blue, not a cloud in sight, gentle breeze, very hot and the beach is waiting..

Typhoon Callippo is forecast to arrive in Manila in about a week where it will stay a little while and then go up towards Subic for the All Saints holiday.

then it will slowly return again briefly to Manila, before abruptly changing course and heading incredibly fast down towards the Visayas.

Heres hoping it doesnt cause to much chaos, and doesnt bring the rain or excessive wind! bring only sunshine and a light scattering of Tobelrones....
