According to PAGASA, as of 10 a.m., the center of Tropical Depression “Neneng” was located 120 kilometers north of Basco, Batanes, within the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
“Neneng” is packing maximum sustained winds of up to 45 kilometers per hour near the center, and gustiness of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
