 The low-pressure area (LPA) outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has intensified into a tropical depression, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), as reported at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday morning.

In its weather advisory issued at 11:00 a.m., Pagasa noted that the tropical depression was located approximately 2,615 kilometers east of Central Luzon.

Pagasa reported that it is also tracking two additional low-pressure areas (LPAs) that could potentially develop into tropical cyclones: one situated about 800 kilometers east of extreme Northern Luzon and the other approximately 1,436 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas.

In light of these developments, Pagasa has urged the public to stay informed about changes in weather systems and to keep updated on forecasts.
