Verified facts
What happened
PAGASA's 5 p.m. rainfall advisory kept parts of Bataan and Zambales under an Orange warning, meaning flooding remained threatening in the listed localities.
The Orange coverage included Bagac, Mariveles, Morong, Limay, Orion, Pilar and Balanga in Bataan, and San Antonio, Subic and Olongapo in Zambales.

The 5 p.m. advisory placed Metro Manila and additional areas of Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite and Batangas under a Yellow warning for flooding in flood-prone locations.
This is the same evolving weather event covered by FMB News' 7 a.m. report. The 1 p.m. delivery block was therefore merged into this canonical report instead of being published as a duplicate article.

PAGASA said the southwest monsoon would continue affecting Luzon and the western Visayas on August 15. Residents should monitor later PAGASA and local disaster-office advisories because warning coverage can narrow or expand quickly.
