MANILA, Philippines — Signal No. 1 has been raised over Kalayaan Island even before the tropical depression that was forecast early Sunday threatens to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the state-run weather agency said on Sunday.
Weather specialist Robert Badrina of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services (Pagasa) said the tropical cyclone, named "Romina," is the 18th storm to hit the country this year and second this month.
