Malacañang has suspended all classes from preschool to postgraduate courses in the National Capital Region and the provinces of Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite, and Rizal.
The class suspension directive is contained in Memorandum Circular 34 issued by Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa Jr.
However, operations and work in national government agencies and private sector offices were not suspended.
Malacañang suspended classes as state weather forecasters hoisted their “red warning” over Metro Manila after noting torrential rainfall of 30.0-40.0 millimeters per hour early evening of Wednesday at various observation points in Quezon City, Manila, Marikina, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, and Valenzuela (CAMANAVA).
