Tropical Depression "Romina" is no longer directly affecting Kalayaan Islands but there is still a chance for its intensification into a tropical storm within the next 12 hours, the state weather bureau said on Monday.

Tropical Depression Romina is moving northwestward slowly away on Monday morning and is no longer affecting Kalayaan Islands in Palawan, PAGASA said in its weather forecast. At 4 a.m., Romina's center was estimated to be located outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 165 km west of Pag-asa Island,
