MANILA, Philippines - The National Disaster Coordinating Council today (Sept. 27) announced that it will be suspending classes in all levels in Metro Manila and Rizal province tomorrow (Sept. 28).
NDCC chairman and Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro has opted to suspend classes to concentrate government rescue and relief efforts to thousands of people displaced from their homes due to the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy (international name Kestana).
Teodoro, however, said government agencies will continue their operations tomorrow especially to assist in the rescue and relief operations by local government officials.
Several cities in Metro Manila, including Pasig and Marikina, and towns in Rizal, such as San Mateo, Cainta and Taytay, have experienced massive flooding due to the continuous heavy downpour yesterday.
