Packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness up to 70kph, the tropical depression is moving east-northeast at 20kph, the weather bureau said.
“It is forecast to intensify into a tropical storm in the next 12 hours and may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Friday morning,” the weather agency said.
