Work in government offices and classes in all levels in the National Capital Region (NCR) were suspended on Wednesday, July 24.
Malacañang made the announcement due to the continuous heavy rainfall brought by typhoon Carina.
"In view of the forecasted continuous rainfall brought about by the Southwest Monsoon and Typhoon 'Carina,' work in government offices and classes at all levels in the National Capital Region are hereby suspended at 05:00 a.m. today, 24 July 2024," the Palace said.
The suspension came after the recommendation made by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
However, agencies whose functions involve the delivery of basic and health services, response to disasters and calamities, and/or the performance of other vital services shall continue with their operations and render the necessary services.
Malacañang added that the suspension of work for private companies and offices is left to the discretion of their respective heads.
Work in government offices and classes in all levels in Metro Manila were also suspended at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23, due to the effects of typhoon Carina and Habagat.
