President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has approved the suspension of classes and work in the National Capital Region (NCR) on Monday in response to the forecasted inclement weather from Typhoon ‘Egay’ and the scheduled 72-hour transport strike in Metro Manila. This decision aims to ensure the safety of the public and alleviate the potential effects of the typhoon and strike.
The suspension applies to all levels of public schools and government offices in the NCR, as stated in a memorandum circular signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on July 21. However, government agencies involved in delivering essential services such as basic and health services, disaster preparedness/response, and other vital functions will continue their operations and provide necessary services.
For private companies and schools, the decision to suspend work and classes is left to the discretion of their respective heads.
