MANILA, Philippines — There is a 'moderate to high chance' that the approaching low pressure area (LPA) would intensify into a tropical depression or a weak storm, the state weather bureau said Thursday. As of 3 a.m., the LPA that was bringing rain in Southern Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao was spotted 130 kilometers southeast of Cuyo, Palawan, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
