July 25: Classes, gov't work suspended anew in NCR, Calabarzon, Central Luzon

MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang declared on Wednesday that work in all government offices and classes at all levels have been suspended anew in Central Luzon, Calabarzon and the National Capital Region.

The areas have been hard hit by torrential monsoon rains that set off flashfloods and landslides, prompting evacuations, rescue and relief operations.

"In view of the continuous rainfall brought by the Southwest Monsoon and Typhoon 'Carina', and to aid in the rescue, recover, relief, rehabilitation efforts of the government and the private sector, work in government offices and classes at all levels in Regions III, IV-A and the National Capital Region are hereby suspended on 25 July 2024," the Office of the Executive Secretary said in a memo.

Suspension of work in private companies will be up to their respective management.
