Shortly after the last post they did update and it appears they are starting to come to terms with the fact a typhoon is hitting the country. They are still calling it a Tropical Storm, contradicting the JTWC. They also still have the wind speed significantly lower than the JTWC. Oddly they also have a different name for the storm. They call it Caloy, everyone else in the world calls it Chanchu..

My area is now at a Signal 2 warning (60-100kph winds).

The area currently under the gun is now at Signal 3 (100-180kph winds).

This is on a scale of 1-4 which can be found at Philippines Signal Scale
