    The first tsunami waves may arrive before 11:43 local time (03:43 GMT) and may last "for hours", Philippine authorities say.

    The country's Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has asked residents living in coastal areas of affected provinces to “immediately evacuate to higher grounds or move farther inland.”

    Phivolcs also advised boat owners to secure their vessels and move away from the waterfront.

    “Boats already at sea during this period should stay offshore in deep waters until further advised,” it added.
