MANILA, Philippines — Several banks have announced suspended or limited operations in selected branches on Thursday following inclement weather due to Typhoon Carina (international name: Gaemi) and the southwest monsoon.
Carina has left the Philippine area of responsibility but left a trail of destruction in the country after it strengthened the southwest monsoon.
Heavy rains triggered widespread flooding across different regions, prompting Metro Manila and other areas to be placed under a state of calamity.
On its website, Banco de Oro said that branches in the National Capital Region and Luzon will have shortened bank hours until 3 p.m.
The Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) and Metrobank announced that some of its branches will be temporarily closed or have shortened hours, urging customers to check on their respective websites if their branches are open.
“Due to flooding brought about by the inclement weather, some RCBC branches will be closed today, July 25, 2024 for the safety of our clients and employees,” RCBC said.
