Forecasts indicate that Fung-wong, also known locally as Uwan, could strengthen to super typhoon level with winds of up to 185 kilometers per hour before hitting Luzon island as early as Sunday evening local time.
The Philippine Meteorological Service (Pagasa) warns that the storm will bring heavy rains and dangerous storm surges, which poses a serious risk to the lives of the population.
Several schools canceled classes on Monday or switched to online classes, while Philippine Airlines canceled a number of domestic flights.
The typhoon is expected to weaken as it makes landfall, but will most likely maintain typhoon strength as it moves across Luzon.
Eastern parts of the Philippines are already affected by strong winds and rain today.
