Mayor Ruffy Biazon has raised the status of the Muntinlupa Emergency Operations Center from blue to red alert due to typhoon “Uwan” (“Fung-Wong”). 

Metro Manila is now under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 3, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). 

In a memorandum, Biazon said, “In view of the continued intensification of the weather disturbance, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is hereby raising its Alert Status from blue alert to red alert, effective 2:00 PM today, November 8, 2025, and shall remain in effect until further notice or until the situation normalizes.” 

Under red alert, he said, “All concerned response agencies are hereby directed to maintain full stand-by readiness and prepare for full-scale response operations, as necessary.”

Biazon also ordered members of the local disaster risk reduction and management council and barangay disaster risk reduction and management committee to implement preemptive evacuation of residents, especially those in coastal areas, low-lying areas, and flood- and landslide-prone areas, if necessary. 

“In view of this development, you are hereby directed to conduct pre-emptive and/or forced evacuation within your respective Areas of Responsibility (AOR), particularly in coastal areas, low-lying areas, and identified flood prone and landslide prone communities, as necessary,” the mayor ordered.
