Malacañang through the Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) suspended work in government offices and classes in schools across Luzon for Wednesday, October 23, due to the effects of tropical storm ‘Kristine.’
“In view of the inclement weather brought about by Tropical Storm ‘Kristine’ affecting the whole country, particularly the Island of Luzon, work in government offices and classes at all levels in Luzon are hereby suspended on 23 October 2024,” the OES said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
However, essential services, such as health care and disaster response, will continue, while private companies can decide on work suspensions at their own discretion. The government urged the public to stay alert as severe weather continues.
