 Tropical Depression Auring formed as a tropical disturbance late on December 30 , 2008 , to the southeast of Manila in the Philippines . Over the next few days the disturbance gradually developed before early on January 3 , the Philippine Atmospheric , Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration ( PAGASA ) and the Japan Meteorological Agency ( JMA ) , reported that the disturbance had intensified into the first tropical depression of the season with PAGASA assigning the name Auring to the depression . As the Depression was moving into a high level of vertical wind shear , it did not develop any further and late on January 5 as the baroclinic zone approached Auring , it was downgraded to an area of low pressure by PAGASA before the JMA followed suit the next day as it was declared as dissipated by the JTWC .
