“The low pressure area outside the Philippine area of responsibility southeast of Palau has developed into a tropical depression,” Pagasa said in an advisory at 11 am Sunday.
December is typically a typhoon season in the southeast Asian country.
“Due to favorable environmental conditions, the tropical cyclone will likely continue to intensify and may reach typhoon category by Tuesday evening or Wednesday early morning,” Pagasa further said.
Weathermen said the tropical depression was spotted 2,095 kilometers east of Mindana as of 8am Sunday.
It currently packs maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 55 kph.
“Current track and intensity forecast shows that there is a moderate to high likelihood that Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) will be hoisted for the provinces of Visayas and Mindanao. The highest possible wind signal that may be hoisted for this tropical cyclone is TCWS #4,” Pagasa said.
Moving west
The weather bureau said the tropical depression is expected to move generally west-northwest over the next three days and may enter PAR on Tuesday.
The tropical cyclone will be named “Odette”, once it goes inside PAR.
Worryingly my home is directly in the path of this typhoon, thankfully my neighbours have rallied around and moved all things inside my home to high positions in case of flooding again.
Very frustrating that I'm still not able to return to check for myself, fingers crossed the sea/rain and wind will not do much damage locally.

Kavanaugh’s College Roommate Releases Statement About New Accuser: ‘I Believe Her’
By Sarah Nechamkin
On Sunday, Deborah Ramirez came forward in The New Yorker to become the second woman publicly accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of s*xual assault. Ramirez alleges that Kavanaugh drunkenly exposed himself to her at a freshman-year dorm party at Yale University, where she says he thrust his p*nis in her face, and that she was made to touch it during her efforts to push him away.
Ramirez acknowledges that she, too, was drunk, and her memory from the 1983 incident is hazy; the report also did not confirm with every eyewitness that Kavanugh was at the alleged party. But a former classmate interviewed for the story said another student told him about the incident soon after, and that he is “one-hundred-per-cent sure” that Kavanaugh was the student to expose himself to Ramirez. Since the new allegation, two Yale alumni have also withdrawn from their letter of support for Kavanaugh. And now, his former roommate, James Roche, has spoken out in solidarity with Ramirez.
In a statement released to select reporters Monday night, Roche writes of his experience as Kavanaugh’s freshman-year roommate, concluding that “although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became belligerent and aggressive when he was very drunk.” Though he says he does not remember the incident of alleged s*xual assault, he does remember Kavanaugh “frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk.”
Roche also describes his friendship with Deborah Ramirez, saying “she stood out as being exceptionally honest, with a trusting manner.” He says Ramirez, a Puerto Rican woman who felt out of place among the privileged students of Yale, was worried about fitting in and tried hard to make friends and “get along.”
“Based on my time with Debbie, I believe her to be unusually honest and straightforward and I cannot imagine her making this up,” Roche writes. “Based on my time with Brett, I believe that he and his social circle were capable of the actions that Debbie described.”
“I do not consider myself a political person and I have no political agenda,” Roche writes. “I have shared this information with a small number of reporters who reached out to me directly because Debbie has a right to be heard and I believe her.”
Just the news people. Contrary to semi-popular belief, I don't hate you, or anyone else for reading it.
The killer reportedly phoned police just before his deed, vowing allegiance to ISIS. Weeks before, saw two men kissing and was enraged.FBI was onto him, but didn't push things, perhaps due to over sensitivity to his belonging to the religion of peace. Lots to ponder. Aa.

I've been busy lately and apologize for not keeping up with the 5 or 6 new Trump stories that hit the news channels daily. There's so much stuff that it boggles the mind. How a 'one man hurricane' can muster up so much attention.
More documents?
The last few days there has been talk that not all the documents were seized from Mar-a-Lago and there must be more. I read a comment The Guardian took video of Trump directing the loading of at least 9 boxes to a private plane at the West Palm Beach airport. The manifest was to fly to Bedminster New Jersey. It's believed they are maintenance staff at Bedminster Club and they know where the boxes are.
It wouldn't surprise me if the DOJ serve him with more search warrants to search his New York offices, clubs and other residences.
