MANILA, Philippines – The low pressure area east of Visayas has developed into a tropical depression, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Tuesday.

In its latest weather bulletin, Pagasa said that the weather disturbance named “Falcon” was sighted 670 kilometers east of Borongan, Eastern Samar. The tropical depression sustained maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center, and is expected to move west northwest at 19 kph.

Falcon came hours after another tropical depression, Egay, left the Philippines’ area of responsibility Monday.
