MANILA, Philippines — The low pressure area—which was earlier spotted off extreme northern Luzon—has developed into a tropical depression Friday morning. State weather bureau PAGASA said the LPA has re-entered the Philippine area of responsibility at 7 a.m. after leaving the country’s jurisdiction early Friday morning. The weather disturbance then developed into a tropical depression at 8 a.m. and was named “Goring.” It is the seventh tropical cyclone to affect the Philippines this year. More details about “Goring” will be bared later when PAGASA issues a severe weather bulletin at 11 a.m. It was last seen 775 kilometers north northeast of extreme Northern Luzon and was heading to South Korea.
