It then traversed the Bicol Region and emerged into Ragay Gulf, eventually making landfall in Buenavista, Quezon; the storm maintained its strength during this period.[9] Defying initial forecasts, Nalgae then moved southwestward and struck Mogpog on the island province of Marinduque.[10] Afterwards, the storm moved northwestward into the Sibuyan Sea and struck Sariaya, another municipality in Quezon province; it later moved through Laguna, Rizal, Metro Manila and Bulacan throughout the evening of October 29.[11][12] Nalgae emerged over the West Philippine Sea the next day, and weakened below tropical storm status.[13] The storm would later re-intensify into a severe tropical storm a few hours later, and eventually exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility a day later.
