Malacañang has suspended work in government offices and classes across major regions of Luzon and Visayas as Super Typhoon Uwan (Fung-wong) approaches Aurora with strong winds and heavy rain.
Under Memorandum Circular No. 106 issued Sunday, government work on Monday is suspended in the National Capital Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Regions I (Ilocos), II (Cagayan Valley), III (Central Luzon), IV-A (Calabarzon), IV-B (Mimaropa), V (Bicol), and VIII (Eastern Visayas).
Classes at all levels in these regions, as well as in Regions VI (Western Visayas), VII (Central Visayas), and the Negros Island Region, are suspended on November 10 and 11.
“Agencies responsible for basic, vital, and health services, preparedness and response duties must continue to remain operational,” the circular stated. Other government offices in affected areas may adopt alternate work arrangements to maintain essential functions.
Local governments outside the listed regions may issue their own suspensions as needed, while private companies will follow the discretion of their respective management.
The order takes effect immediately as President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. placed the government on “full alert” amid PAGASA warnings of a potentially catastrophic landfall in Aurora or nearby provinces.
