Weather: Tropical depression to enter PHL Monday afternoon or evening
A tropical depression approaching the Philippines may enter Philippine territory Monday afternoon or evening, state weather forecasters said. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration also maintained that the depression is not likely to make landfall in the Philippines. "Nasa labas pa ito ng Philippine area of responsibility, at ito ay inaassahang pumasok ng Philippine area of responsibility mamayang hapon o gabi (It is still outside the Philippine area of responsibility. We expect it to enter Philippine territory in the afternoon or evening)," PAGASA forecaster Rene Paciente said in an interview on dzBB radio before noon Monday. He also said there is still no effect as of 11 a.m. from the depression, which will be codenamed "Onyok" once it enters Philippine territory.
