Local officials and agencies remain on high alert for possible storm surges caused by Typhoon #MarcePH.
In Dagupan City, beachgoers at Tondaligan Beach have been warned to stay away from the water as strong waves continue to threaten the area.
The ongoing storm has also impacted the livelihood of local shed owners who have barely earned any income over the past two weeks due to recent storms.
"Umaasa lang kami sa mga estudyante, sa mga suki, doon lang nakaka-survive," Rosalie Gonzales, a shed owner, said.
Despite the high waves, some visitors still went to the Tondaligan Beach but stayed along the baywalk for safety.
"Birthday kasi ng anak ko kahapon, gusto niyang maligo kaso hindi pala pwede. Parang nasayang yung punta, [kaya] naglalaro na lang ng buhangin," Rowena Dela Cruz, who visited with her child, said.
Authorities have intensified restrictions on swimming and sailing to prevent accidents.
"Mula kahapon sa monitoring ng Maritime, ipinagbabawal namin yung naliligo kasi delikado, malakas ang alon," PCMS Angelito Soriano, Station Executive Senior Police Officer of the Philippine Maritime Police, said.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Typhoon Marce is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by the evening on Friday, November 8, or morning of Saturday, November 9.
"Magpapatuloy pa rin yung cloudy skies sa mga susunod, hanggat hindi nakakalayo si Bagyong Marce," Jun Soriano, a weather observer from PAGASA Dagupan Station, said.
The Philippine Maritime Police and the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) continue strict monitoring along the coastline, ensuring that those who attempt to swim are turned away quickly for their safety.
