The local government of Manila suspended classes on Friday, Oct. 6, in all levels, both public and private, while the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (MDRRMO) said it would monitor any flooding that may be caused by the inclement weather.

Under this advisory, moderate to heavy rains are expected for the next three hours, and floods are expected in low-lying areas.
