MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Depression “Amang” is expected to weaken into a low pressure area (LPA) by Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, but is still forecast to bring rain over parts of Eastern Luzon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

According to Pagasa as of 5:00 a.m., Amang was last spotted over the coastal waters of San Andres, Catanduenes moving westward at 15 kilometers per hour (kph), carrying maximum wind speeds of 45 kph and gusts of up to 60 kph.
