Residents of these areas, especially those living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to floods and rain-induced landslides, are advised to take precautionary measures, coordinate with local disaster risk reduction and management offices, and continue monitoring for updates, especially the Thunderstorm or Rainfall Advisories and Heavy Rainfall Warnings to be issued by PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.

Sea travel is risky, especially for small seacrafts, over the central and eastern seaboards of Visayas and the northern, eastern and southern seaboards of Mindanao due to potentially rough sea condition.
"MARILYN" is less likely to make landfall in the country throughout the forecast period.
