Southwest monsoon, LPA to bring rain in M’nao AS tropical storm “Igme” (Tembin) left the Philippine territory, a low pressure area (LPA) and the southwest monsoon are expected to bring rains over Luzon and Mindanao. Weather forecaster Jori Loiz said Igme exited quickly the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Tuesday night as it moved toward Korea, after it reentered the country earlier this week. Loiz said as of 2 a.m. Wednesday, an LPA spotted at 700 kilometers east of Mindanao (9.2°N, 133.0°E) may bring cloudy skies and rain over Mindanao but has small chance to turn into cyclone. He said the LPA in the sea is heading for landfall westward. “But we are still monitoring,” he noted.

But even LET passers become idle because there are no vacancies.” One major reason why most of her classmates and the previous batches who passed the LET could not teach is the long process GRADUATE/PAGE 11
