MANILA, Philippines—Four more provinces were placed under Signal No. 1, bringing to nine the number of provinces under the first alert, as Tropical Depression Basyang maintained its strength with maximum wind speed of 55 kilometers per hour near the center, the state weather bureau said in its Thursday late night bulletin.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Basyang moved closer to land and was spotted at 969 km east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, as of 10 p.m. Thursday.
