Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon suspended classes and work at the city government for Sept. 3 due to tropical storm Enteng. 

Biazon issued an announcement on Sept. 2, stating that classes in all levels in public and private schools in Muntinlupa are suspended. 

“SUSPENDED ang mga klase sa Muntinlupa, ALL CLASS LEVELS, PUBLIC and PRIVATE SCHOOLS, pati ang trabaho sa City Government of Muntinlupa bukas, September 3, dahil sa inaasahang pag-ulan dala ng bagyong #EntengPH,” he posted on Facebook.

“Ayun thank you Mayor Ruffy, eto po ang malinaw na sa lahat!  Ingat po ang lahat!” one netizen commented on Biazon’s post. 

The mayor made the announcement after netizens were confused by the declaration of the national government that “classes at all levels” are suspended for Sept. 3. Netizens asked if the national government’s issuance also covered private schools.  

“In view of the inclement weather brought about by Tropical Storm ‘Enteng,’ classes at all levels and work in government offices in the National Capital Region and Region IV-A are hereby suspended tomorrow, September 3, 2024 (Tuesday). The suspension of work in private companies and offices is left to the discretion of their respective heads,” the Office of the Executive Secretary earlier announced, according to the Presidential Communications Office.

One netizen asked, “Ano po ba public schools lang ba ang walang pasok di po ba kasama ang private schools?” 

In his announcement, Biazon also said city government offices involved in emergency response will be on duty on Sept. 3 for rescue, medical emergency and maintenance of peace and order.
