THE Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Tuesday that it has spotted a low pressure area (LPA) off Cagayan and a tropical depression outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
In a 4 p.m. weather forecast, Pagasa said the LPA was estimated at 665 kilometers east of Aparri, also in the same province.On one hand, the tropical depression was some 3, 220 kms east of Central Luzon while moving southwest at 20 kilometers per hour , the state-run weather agency said.It has maximum sustained winds of 45kph near the center and gustiness of up to 55 kph, it added.
Similarly, the tropical depression is unlikely to directly affect the country for the moment, the state weather bureau said.Over the next 24 hours, Pagasa said the southwest monsoon locally known as 'habagat' is bringing overcast skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Bicol Region, Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao.

Hearings and excuses and exemptionsFOR some time now, two committees of the House of Representatives have been conducting hearings in aid of legislation on the provincial government of Cagayan.
