The Office of the Executive Secretary (OES) announced the suspension of work in government offices and classes at all levels in the Bicol Region (Region V) on October 24, Thursday as Tropical Storm Kristine continues to bring heavy rainfall and cause widespread flooding. 

“In view of the continuous rainfall brought about by Tropical Storm ‘Kristine,’ and to ensure the safety of the general public, work in government offices and classes at all levels in Region V (Bicol Region) are hereby suspended on 24 October 2024,” the OES said in a statement.

Moreover, government agencies involved in critical services, such as disaster response, health, and other vital operations, will remain operational despite the suspension. 

The suspension for private companies and offices will be left to the discretion of their respective management.

The NDRRMC, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), and other relevant agencies are closely monitoring the situation and will recommend further suspensions in other regions if necessary.

On the other hand, newly minted Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla said that he has already issued advisories to local government units (LGUs) across Luzon for the suspension of work and classes on October 24.

Meanwhile, President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos, Jr. ordered the pre-positioning of relief goods and instructed relevant agencies to maintain open communication with local governments to ensure that evacuation centers remain functional and well-equipped.

Tropical Storm Kristine is expected to bring more rain in the coming days, heightening the risk of further flooding and landslides in vulnerable areas.
