MANILA -- The sky in Aurora is overcast as the province, which is under storm warning signal number 3, braces for typhoon "Santi." According to state weather bureau PAGASA, Santi is expected to make landfall in Aurora between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. on Saturday. While it briefly rained at dawn Friday, Aurora Governor Gerardo Noveras said calm weather prevails there at this time. In an interview with "Mornings @ ANC," Noveras said the local government is now stocking up on relief goods which will be put on standby in the town of Casiguran. "Sa ngayon ay makulimlim dito sa Aurora. Pero kami po ay naghanda na. Bumibili na po kami ng relief goods partikular yung bigas at mga canned goods para po naka-ready na kami," he said. "At actually yung portion nung aming bibilhin ngayon ay ipapadala na po namin sa gawi ng Casiguran. Para just in case kailangan nating mag-distribute ng relief goods dun ay meron na tayong nakahanda," he added. An evacuation center in Baler is also being prepared for families who might be displaced. Noveras has already advised mayors to prepare residents for possible evacuation. "Kung sakaling magkaroon ng forced evacuation ay meron po kaming pagdadalhan sa kanila," Noveras said.
