MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao  have been placed under storm warning signal number 4 as super typhoon Glenn (international codename Chong) intensified slightly while barreling toward the country on Sunday.

Glenn is the world’s most powerful typhoon of the year, swirling towards the Philippines.

As of 6 pm Sunday, Glenn was spotted 453 kilometers southeast of Metro Manila, carrying maximum sustained winds of 225 km/h near the center and gusts of up to 260 km/h.

Glenn is expected to make landfall beginning 10 a.m. Monday, August 6.

President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the suspension of classes at all levels, and government workers have been given the option to stay at home, except those attending today’s Seante hearing on the 2016 electoral fraud.
