Earlier, the Malacañang Palace had made an early announcement of both private and public class suspensions in Metro Manila for the same reason. Several local governments had already suspended their classes before the Palace declaration.
The following announcement has also been trending under the hashtag: #SCPhWalangPasok, often paired with #EntengPH. Despite the confirmation of class and work suspension in government offices today, many are more concerned about what the storm is capable of.
Many are already taking to social media and sharing posts of flooded areas and heavy rain from the storm.
