TWO low pressure areas (LPAs) have been spotted inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) although the first one may dissipate in 24 hours as both are unlikely to develop into a tropical depression, the state-run weather agency said on Tuesday.

Weather forecaster Obet Badrina of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) told The Manila Times that first LPA was estimated some 290 kilometers east of Maasin City, Southern Leyte while the other was at 125kms west-northwest of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
