Two dams in Luzon, Ambuklao and Binga, continued to release water on Wednesday due to heavy rains caused by the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) and Tropical Depression Bising.

Ambuklao Dam had one gate partially open at 0.3 meters with an outflow of 95.19 cubic meters per second (cms), higher than Tuesday's 92.98 cms, while the water level was at 751.69 meters, nearing its normal high water level.

Other dams such as Ipo, La Mesa, San Roque, Pantabangan, and Magat also saw increases in their water levels due to continued rainfall.

PAGASA warned of possible flash floods or landslides in the Ilocos Region, Batanes, and Babuyan Islands, with scattered rains and thunderstorms expected across Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and other parts of the country.
