The Philippine state weather bureau formally declared the formation of Tropical Depression Neneng on Tuesday afternoon, upgrading what was previously a low-pressure area monitored within the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR). The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued an advisory detailing the system's development and current position.

According to Pagasa's 2 p.m. advisory, Neneng was positioned approximately 1,035 kilometers east of the country at the time of the announcement. The agency continued to monitor the system's movement and potential impacts on the region.

The formation of Neneng marks another tropical weather disturbance affecting the broader Philippine region during the monitoring period. Pagasa typically tracks such systems closely to provide timely warnings and guidance to the public and relevant government agencies.

Residents in affected areas are advised to monitor official weather updates from Pagasa for any developments regarding Neneng's track and intensity. The agency regularly issues advisories tracking tropical systems and their potential impact on Philippine territory and surrounding waters.
