The country's state weather bureau, PAGASA, said that Bualoi was moving westward at 35 km per hour with maximum winds of 110 km per hour and gusts of up to 135 km per hour.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council has reported that a total of 14 deaths resulted from the combined effects of the southwest monsoon and three successive tropical storms, including Ragasa and Bualoi, which struck the Philippines in recent weeks.
The agency reported that more than 300,000 families, or about 1.2 million people, were affected around the country.
Bualoi is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by September 27 afternoon.
Meanwhile, the meteorological bureau of Laos on September 26 issued a warning as Bualoi approaches, predicted to bring widespread downpour and increase the risk of flooding and landslides across the country.
According to the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology under the Lao Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Bualoi will affect Laos from September 28 to 30.
The storm is forecast to move across multiple regions of the country, bringing light to moderate thunderstorms nationwide, with some areas likely to experience heavy rainfall and strong winds during this period.
Residents and local authorities are urged to stay alert and prepare for several days of continuous heavy rainfall that could lead to hazardous conditions.
